    28 <Time Periods> Later Films

    Of COURSE they're not zombie movies. They're movies about total societal upheaval by the reduction of thinking humans into mindless hordes that provide a vehicle for the filmmakers' sociopolitical views. And if there's one thing the zombie genre was NEVER known for--especially the movies done by George Romero--it's the use of social catastrophe to show the filmmakers' views of society. Mister Marker's completely right, of course, even when he can't get the names of the filmmakers correct.
