Zombies were being renamed at their peak. Look at the walking dead.
The walking dead is not peak zombie. It might be peak soap opera.
I didn't mean it like that. What I meant was the walking dead existed in the time period of peak zombie.
I feel like even back then TWD was seen as a refreshing take on a tired concept. I wouldn't call that "peak" zombie, though I have no idea what the actual era of "peak" zombie would even be, 2007? no clue.
You're probably right, I think I'm biased and/or misremembering because I wasn't a fan of the genre until a little later on.
It's that old? Dang.
Maybe I'm wrong. How I remember it is it was born out of that time and kicked the end of that time down the road a bit. Remember TWD had spin offs (maybe just one?) and copy cats and adaptations and so on. But yeah it's almost 15 years old now, so it's relatively old for a show.
Oh wow, yeah that sounds pretty close to the right time.
Peak second-season slump.
