Yeah...I've avoided stuff with zombies in because, basically, I'm squeamish, and reading about/watching decayed people walking around only helps my insomnia. And I really don't need help with that.
Plus, yes, it's dull as snot, because it's freaking everywhere now.
The only one that ever interested me as a concept was the First Season (post-reboot) Doctor Who episode with Charles Dickens and the Gelth. The Doctor tried to argue that there was nothing at all wrong with the Gelth occupying the bodies of dead people - that this was just recycling taken to a logical end - and I found myself a) agreeing, and b) thinking that such an arrangement might make for a most interesting story, though my "zombies" would be actually aliens, just using the bodies as vehicles, in effect. How would we integrate such beings into our society, supposing we couldn't really stop them from doing it save by cremation? And what would happen to those people from religious groups which forbade cremation? And so on, and so on.

Proof that this particular sub-sub-genre has gone on far too long.

Personally, I would like to see a zombie Rick Astley.
