Only franchises which originated between the 60s and 80s this time. I think I might make a poll for classic 90s and 00s horror franchises later.

Missing from the list are Poltergeist and The Omen but I hardly think that they're the fave of the masses.

Please reblog for larger sample size and comment/tag your favorite franchise that I missed

Mass effect fan theory:

Zombies/reanimated dead was information of the reapers given to Earth by the Protheans.

Javik says that the Protheans tried to prepare the upcoming cycle Species to fight the reapers. If you take him on Thessia you learn that the Protheans taught the Asari mathmatics and agriculture.

We also see that the other alien species are much more disturbed by the reaper creatures than the humans. I think this is because humans have legends and stories about the living dead, while the aliens don't.

The reaper creatures are very zombie like. The looks, how they sound, the fact they're basically reanimated dead. So I think the legends of the living dead is the warped warnings of the reapers given to Earth by the Protheans.
