Zombies and Society.

Zombie films related to social upheavel? http://io9.com/5070243/war-and-socia...vie-production It's interesting, as Romero always said he tries to base his zombie films off the current state of the nation ect. However its interesting to see it in a graph form. The inclusion of mummy's and that sort of rubbish discredits it a bit. I dunno...

Horror movie wax and wan in popularity, and I'm pretty they generally increase in number during times of increased social tension.

I'm not convinced that there is a connection. I think movies of all genres have increased over time as movie techniques got better, and more money could be made off of producing them.

I found a website with a chart showing a steadily rising number of horror movies produced from 1979 to the present. It's kind of hard to tell whether or not there's a linkage between horror flicks and social upheaval since the whole 20th-21st has been a roll coaster ride of wars, economic failures, and other disasters. http://www.trendrr.com/timeseries/Ho..._Year)__381135 Here's another link to a blog that states horror flicks spike during bear markets on Wall Street! http://conspiracyrealitytv.com/histo...-stock-market/
