There is no denying that there has been a rebirth of the zombie movie in the past decade. There are the Resident Evil movies, the remakes and sequels to the George Romero legacy, 28 Days/Weeks Later, Planet Terror, and even the most recently released Quarantine. But the question is... why?

The team over at io9.com decided to map out the rise and fall of zombie apocalypse movies against the economic state and warfare of the USA. Turns out, violence and depression seems to make for good zombie movie inspiration.

So with the result of yesterday's election, you have to wonder... are we in for 4 more years of zombie movies or a rebirth in romantic comedies? Either way, the graph is just fun for all the info-graphics and analytics junkies/lovers out there.
