zombie movies are. mindless consumption, herd mentality, etc. George Romero had an entire zombie film in a suburban mall
vampire films are about sex, the fear of it, rape, seduction, etc.
the horror of the 50's was about the threat of godless communists (Body Snatchers for example) or about the proliferation of nuclear weapons (the radiation monster movies, godzilla, Them, etc.)
