Zombie franchises
The Walking Dead
Born in 2003 from Robert Kirkman's pen, The Walking Dead has become the largest zombie franchise in pop culture: 11 seasons of the flagship show, multiple spin-offs (Fear, World Beyond, Dead City, Daryl Dixon), the cult Telltale game and a loyal comics readership. Full coverage here — series, comics, games and news.
Resident Evil
Capcom launched modern survival horror in 1996 with the first Resident Evil. Nearly three decades later, the franchise spans every format: acclaimed remakes (RE2, RE3, RE4), spin-offs, the Netflix live-action series, movies, and now Resident Evil Requiem. Dead Culture covers every release, rumor and trailer.
The Last of Us
Naughty Dog redefined video game storytelling in 2013 with The Last of Us: not exactly zombies, but Cordyceps-Infected that scarred a generation. The sequel, the acclaimed HBO Max adaptation, season 3 in production... Dead Culture documents the full ecosystem of Neil Druckmann's work.
L'univers Romero (Living Dead)
George A. Romero invented the modern zombie in 1968 with Night of the Living Dead. The Living Dead saga — Dawn (1978), Day (1985), Land (2005) and their remakes — laid every foundation of the genre: social critique, claustrophobia, gore and collective survival. Every serious zombie discussion starts here.
28 Days Later
Danny Boyle rebooted the genre in 2002 with 28 Days Later: fast-moving Infected, a depopulated England, scorching direction. The trilogy completes with 28 Weeks Later (2007) and 28 Years Later (2025). A major touchstone for post-millennial zombie cinema — sprint, sweat and despair.
World War Z
Max Brooks published a landmark book in 2006 with a unique structure: a multi-first-person account, a collection of testimonies from a global zombie war. Marc Forster's 2013 film offers a very loose adaptation. The 2019 co-op game extends the universe. An intellectual cornerstone of the genre.
