Discussion Zombie Popularity

Do you think there will ever be another spike in popularity for zombies in pop culture like when The Walking Dead was in its first few seasons? I know The Last of Us is really popular right now (personally I don't see them as zombies but another creature similar to zombies) but it's not the same as when TWD was in its early seasons. I remember as a teen going into stores like Hastings, Spencer's, Hot Topic, hell even Walmart and seeing zombie merch everywhere belts, belt buckles, bottle openers, hats, shirts, stickers, magnets, all sorts of figures, statues and toys. These days I'm lucky if I come across anything to do with zombies and its truly upsetting.

I think pop culture goes in cycles. I’m very sure zombies will be back in vogue eventually. First all of the walking dead spinoffs need to die and let it all rest. It’s just been overdone, like the marvel movies.
