Confused?
All 3 sub-genres can be classed under the same genre, the trouble is who gets top billing?
The classic movie definition of a zombie is the re-animated corpse that feeds off of living flesh.
The classic movie definition of a vampire is the re-animated corpse that feeds off of living blood.
And in folklore/mythology the classic definition of a ghoul is the re-animated corpse that feeds off of the living flesh and blood.
As someone who spends much of my time buried under files and books and other dusty things researching vampires in myth and movies; I have had to at times bring the stories labeled as "zombie" into the mix. Both film icons are considered viruses that are spread most often by one getting bitten. Both have the same surefire way to destroy the monster in question by decapitation.
Should vampire and zombie movies be relabeled under the same title of ghoul or given a new category all together?
Only the fans of each genre can say for sure.

It looks like you have a couple spelling errors on your website such as the word "Polie". Check out a service like SpellAce.com to help. We've used it in the past and liked it.
I hated this story as a child. It made me want to cry. I still hate it and im 58. I use to wish that in the end when he became a swan he would go back and hurt his mother and siblings and all of those who tormented him. The abuse is horrific. How can this be considered a childrens story.
