What's next after Zombies?

[Olgar Shiverstone]

First it was Vampires. Then Vampires & werewolves. Now it's zombies.

What will be the next movie/TV monster phenomenon? Skeletons? Fey? Flumpfs?

 

[Crothian]

Now we seem to be getting Dystopian futures. Like zombies and Vampires before it was a big book craze and then found its way to movies.

 

[Kramodlog]

Aliens. Superman is back, Independence Day 2 is coming, Scarjo is a sex crazed alien in Under the Skin, Jupiter Ascending by the Wachowskis as lots of aliens.

Aliens have more flavors than zombies, maybe this is why it is less obvious?

 

[Morrus]

Still more superheroes, I expect.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Really surprised we have not seen steampunk movies, things like steampunk zombies, steampunk batman or steampunk spiderman.

Saw a pic that just made me go DAG! That can be a movie! Here you go...Darth Maleficent from CGHUB by James Zapata

 

[PigKnight]

It should be piggies. Piggies are intelligent and ferocious.

 

[Umbran]

Bunnies.

Fluffy bunnies.

With shotguns.

Lazer shotguns.

And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?

Bunnies. Bunnies! It must be bunnies!

 

[Umbran]

The near trend in YA seems to be dystopias, with female protagonists.

Angels are seeing a bit of a comeback in fiction.

In the longer term... I predict sexy bigfoot will become a thing. That, or sexy creature from the black lagoon. All the sparkle of glistening scales will give the vampires a run for their money.

I think we are about due for another ninja craze

 

[Jamdin]

Don't forget that witches made a comeback with American Horror Story: Coven and Witches of East End. The latter reminded me of Charmed. Salem set during the witch trails is coming to WGN this year.
