On the other hand, a lot of myths of monsters are allegorical for existing class antagonisms or contradictions in those societies. Vampires are the obvious parallel to parasitic capital or aristocratic landed class devouring the peasantry. Zombies are an inversion of that, the point of view of a bougie (to Vampires, humans are all mindless zombies they can manipulate for their entertainment but also threaten to overwhelm them and storm their castle. There’s a reason almost all Zombie movies are set in a fixed property location the “humans” are defending from the dirty unwashed horde, it’s a manifestation of petty bougie fears of their property being taken and the existential threat that represents. If they get their property taken then they will get turned into a zombie too, a landless prole)
