We get it. You're a soulless, pasty-faced, unstoppable horde. The only difference is you guys get little laser eye thingies...

I've been tired of zombies since they were called "the Borg".

Ninjas I haven't seen much of since the 80's.

Good points. While I'm personally tired of zombies unless there's a fresh element (pun intended) to make a story stand out, they do seem to have more staying power than pirates, which come and go. I'm still baffled that there's not a movie with the supernatural vibe of old timey pirate stuff, but set in modern day with the kind of pirates like the ones from Captain Phillips.

Poll needs a "All of the Above" option.

I'll go with Pirates. I think zombies is the easy choice but when you think about it they have been pretty steady since the 60's. TWD makes them a little more mainstream but I've always enjoyed even bad zombie flicks.

Pick one, and tell us why.
