Why is "the Z word" so verboten in books and films? Just call them zombies. Don't call them "those things" or "those monsters" and especially don't try to invent a new noun for them like "freakers"

Zombie is an old voodoo word. It's okay to use it.

The zombie genre is so stale that the word itself has become derivative. It's pure dishonesty. I liked the scene in Shaun of the Dead where they poke fun at this.
