Zombie’s didn’t really take off as a horror genre until 1960’s when Night of the Living Dead was released. The 70’s and 80’s continued the evolution of the undead with the Dawn of the Dead and Pet Sematary but by the 90’s the zombie fascination had mostly died down. But the Dawn of the Dead remake and the Resident Evil series gave the genre new life and lead to the development of zombie parodies and the hit T.V. show the Walking Dead.
