Agreed on Freddy's point as well, and I wasn't even a fan of Zombieland personally (though Shaun of the Dead was good and Hide and Creep had some charm to it).
The fact that zombies are "hip" today, so big in modern pop culture and thus oft over-analyzed for mockery (much like the Universal monsters have long been), is a big reason they are losing their status as horrific figures despite the surge in "serious" zombie films as well.

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
