Ha, yes. From the three "classical" movie monsters vampire, werewolf and zombie, the zombie sure is the most annoying when it comes to his danger level, with all flat teeth and snub dirty fingernails, a dull mimic in a half rotten face and staggering walk, hardly able to stand on his own feet. It is probably the subconscious fear of illness and infection that gets symbolized and triggered by the image of the zombie concept. There was an interesting interpretation of that in the movie "the girl with all the gifts", where the people did not become zombies because of a virus in the blood, but because of a fungal infection in the brain. Was one of the very few zombie movies that I really enjoyed, can recommend.
