Hot for Zombies?

Vampires are so yesterday’s news.

Because now that the New York Times Style section has declared the undead as the “it” thing (thanks, didn’t KNOW there was a trend!), their reign is sure to be over soon, this article posits.

After all, once the Times writes about something it’s mainstream. So what’s coming next in your supernatural stew? “The Frisky” points out that now that Daniel Radcliffe is now “of age” he’s officially “crush-able” so girls may now admit they’re swooning for the wizard especially since the sixth filmic installment contains the most romance so far in the series.

Werewolves are another potential lust object, especially with the New Moon film releasing in the fall. But there is the hairball factor with werewolves, admittedly a big deterrent.

So what are we left with? Ah, yes. Zombies. “The undead are eternally sexy, and maybe all we need is a Robert Pattinson type in an Herve Leger-esque zombie suit to resurrect the walking dead and make it the new of-the-moment arm candy,” The Frisky says. “These post-mortems are inherently less erotic than other beautiful beasties that go bump in the night, but with the right actors and plot, I think this could happen.”

What’s your pick? Wizards, zombies, werewolves or are you sticking with vampires?
