There's something very screwy going on here.

There's no way Fester posted that Ukrainian flag and message on 12 May 2012. The last time Fester logged in was on 14 August 2019. Moreover the post above hasn't been flagged as having been Edited at any time.

I've also seen that Ukrainian flag show up as the avatar of a few inactive members which surprised me. So what's happening?

So it seems that ImageShack has taken it upon itself to replace old links to pictures that no longer exist with this image:

Are zombies still popular?  I know The Walking Dead is still on tv and will be ending soon.  As I haven't bought any new comics in over two years, I'm not sure if there are even zombie comics on the shelves.  It seems like 10 years ago you couldn't turn around without seeing a zombie movie, tv-show, comic, toy, etc., now everything seems to have died down some.  If so, what's the new horror rave? 

On a related note, I watched King of the Zombies (1941) last week as part of research for an article on the movie.  It's probably the fourth or fifth time I've seen the movie and still love every minute of it, especially Moreland's character.  I also watched the sequel/remake Revenge of the Zombies (1943) after but was less impressed with the movie overall, except Moreland of course.

In my opinion, Zombies or the Zombie genre isn't as popular at it once was, five years ago. I feel the new trend in Horror fantasy genre, is, Possession films.
The Possession films seem to be made literally once a month.

I heard some say that it's because zombies are easier to kill than werewolves and vampires.
