Gail Collins: If world doesn't end, will zombie craze fade?
What is it about zombies that everybody likes so much? As villains, they aren't particularly well-rounded. They don't plan, so the plot options are pretty limited. You can't develop a forbidden relationship with one. You don't see a handsome male zombie fall in love with a teenage human and then announce that sex is out of the question because of the threat of neck-biting and, therefore, all he wants to do is cuddle and talk about feelings.
That actually may be the key. Zombies never want to talk about feelings. I'll bet nine-tenths of the world's zombie fans are guys.
