Most popular among the 3 categories (Vampire & Werewolf being the other two), the zombies have struck horror into audiences' hearts for the simple fact that they are the un-dead, and cannot be staked or shot with a silver bullet. A hit to the head works sometimes, but not all the time.
The history ranges back to quite a long timeline, but
George Romero immortalised the zombie through his series of Living Dead movies. They enjoy popular appeal even today, and thats largely thanks to video game makers and the Category of "Survival Horror" games, which includes Resident Evil...the most popular of all of em.
