What Sub-Genre of horror is your most beloved?
I think I gotta go with zombie movies, though slashers come in at a close second.
For some reason, I just love movies where the world has essentially come to an end as we know it, and is overrun by the animated corpses of our fellow man (or woman).
When done well, zombie movies can be deep and contain social commentary on the state of the real world, and can present some nice conflicts between the living and a fallen loved one who now must be dealt with. They can play off of the most basic of human emotions, love and hate.
Or, zombie films can present some humor on the surface while still remaining scary under the surface. They can be pretty diverse movies in the right hands.
