Frankenstein, who is common enough in pop culture to have his own trope.
Artificial Zombie: Reanimated by science!.The most common zombie archetypes are as follows: Zombie canon was turned on its head with the release of the video game House of the Dead in 1996 and the film 28 Days Later in 2002, which heavily influenced and popularized the modern trend of super-fast, super-angry zombies (usually infected sort-of-alive humans as opposed to the reanimated dead) that has carried over to numerous works of fiction and entertainment. The Russo canon in particular ( Return of the Living Dead) is the reason most people will respond with ' Braaaiinnnns' when zombies come up in conversation, and most depictions along those lines are references to it. Most zombie movies mix-and-match conventions from the Romero and Russo canons. While Romero is responsible for most of the 'general' zombie conventions, the more specific and visible zombie tropes are more often inspired by the later works of John Russo, Night's co-writer. Most zombie invasion stories, even those not explicitly based on Romero's films, follow the same conventions, though there are major points of contention. As Night was accidentally entered into the public domain due to an error in the end credits, it quickly became the object of imitation and emulation by many other directors.
