“Humans are the real monsters ackshually” is a near-endlessly repeated theme in media, especially for example, a show like The Walking Dead where the real danger always seems to be other humans and the zombies are mostly an ancillary danger that humans learned to live/survive with in the world. It’s not that “humans are the real monsters” isn’t a valid and worthwhile position to take in your media, but there should be more interesting ideas that one can plumb out of horror, or at least that’s my opinion on it. Just seems like low hanging fruit type story to me.

I so agree, when the threat is real the horror feels way different compared to fiction.
