It’s no secret that the biggest trend in horror movies over the
last several years, even extending into TV and video games, is the
zombie phenomenon. From “Shaun of the Dead” and “Zombieland” to “The Walking Dead” and even the “Left 4 Dead” game series, it’s hard to open your eyes without being catching a peek at something zombie-related. Director John Landis, the man behind the legendary horror movie “An American Werewolf in London,” has a theory about it.
While appearing at Universal Studios Orlando to debut his “An American Werewolf in London” maze as part of the annual Halloween Horror Nights,
Landis shared his opinion on the rise of the the genre’s popularity.
“All horror films are metaphors, so what is a zombie exactly?” he
wonders. “They always talk about the zombie apocalypse, it’s a disease.
Nobody talks about voodoo anymore, it’s all radiation or from the
government.”
