Own The Zeitgiest: What Do You Want To Be The Next Zombies/Vampires/Aliens?

I'm gonna say steampunk, that way the previously-mentioned Frankensteins can fit in easily.

Give me heroes who win cause they put all their best into it to do so. Most of the times good guys win cause bad guys never get to be as evil as they can with them. Sure, they will kill old ladies, kick dogs and shoot the lovable character you knew was going to die from the beginning of the movie, just so they can prove they mean business. But as soon as they have to fight the hero, they are never so ruthless nor use all their skills, they always give him the chance to save himself. Imagine if the terminator robots had tried to kill John Connor by simply tearing him apart while holding him? instead of that, they throw him away, giving him the chance to get up and make some distance between them.
Give me a villain who will do all of his best to kill the hero, and a hero who will rise to the challenge.

I think fairy tales come to life in a pseudo-futuristic Steampunk universe. Like Radical's Legends: The Enchanted.

Yes, since inception was awesome, bring on something else. Looking fwd to Tron: Legacy. But..need…more…lol

To actually be the next Zombies/Vampires/Aliens, you gotta appeal to the mass tastes of either genders:

Why women like vampires? Easy, because they're dark, & mysterious, with bonus being older & more powerful.

Why men like zombies? Because they appeal to their primal, cavemen-like desire to hunt & be hunted. And it appeals to their desire to dominate over the savage & the unknown.

For women:
Currently, it's angels. Fallen angels, to be exact. You can see them in books like Fallen by Lauren Kate or Hush, Hush
After that, mummies, ghosts, and possibly

NINJAS

Film Noir detectives

Monsters disguised as humans who devour human souls after killing them. The only things that can kill them are their attacks from their own species.

maybe people can start telling original stories and stop endlessly plowing the genre/subgenre corpses of the familiar and saying that it still feels good… just a thought.

nothing. i'm so tired of infinite regressions on the same concept. Buffy the Vampire Slayer wasn't great because it was about vampires, it was great because it was original and well written. but the bean counters never look at execution…only concept. “hey, people really seem to dig (insert monster or basic plot premise here). let's make 20 of those!” which inevitably leads to a glut, which leads to mediocrity and badness, which leads to the audience looking for something fresh and original. repeat cycle. give me a creator's vision. let it have a strong voice and unique perspective. beyond that, it can be about transsexual werewolf lawyers for all i care…

I could go for astronauts being the next big thing.

No aliens, though. Just astronauts.

seeing some (good) steampunk movies might be cool as well.

T-Rex riding shotguns with hyper speed booster.

I would like detective vampire/zombie/aliens.

Seriously I don't care as long as it's good. I could do without alines, and zombies are not supernatural. More sci fi horror.

Zombies may be old news, but I still want to see Brian Keene's “The Rising” made in to a movie.

And David Wellington's “Monster Island”.

And “Deadworld” too.

Giant Squids!!,

Old school Maritime hard asses fighting over the top Leviathan -esque seas creatures!.
Think 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea meets The Expendables…..with f*cking steampunk style weaponry and armor upgrades.

Your welcome.
