I love zombies because they are awesome. I love zombie stories because they give me characters being driven together, creating new and sometimes unlikely bonds, living in odd and frequently fortified surroundings, and weapons. Lots and lots of weapons.
It's all of the real-world range of human emotions with less of the real-world gravity. Much in the same way that vampirism can represent repressed emotions and our desire to be remembered, and lycanthropy holds so many similarities to mental illness, for me, zombies are the will to survive.
