I wish this fad would go away.
I can see why they appeal to society's marginal young men, however, especially in a bad economy.
In a typical zombie movie, some schlub who has a low-status servility job finds himself in a situation where he no longer has to work; he can help himself to the best of the collapsed society's leftovers, like wheels he couldn't have afforded with the wages from his old job; he discovers that he faces a lot less competition for the surviving young women, especially the most attractive ones, so by the process of elimination he becomes more sexually desirable to them; and he can shoot the undead all day long like in a computer shooter game.
What American hikikomori wouldn't want the zombie apocalypse as an alternative to his current existence?
