The galloping ghouls in their low-budget 2002 thriller “28 Days Later” reinvigorated the genre.

The surface is now home to scavengers, soldiers, mutants, and ghouls, all doing their best to survive on spoiled food, brackish water, and whatever’s left in long-abandoned vending machines.

Moving into senior positions at major studios in film, television and video games, these ghouls seek only to maximize profit.

These ghouls straddle the line between romance and predation, and Eggers’ Orlok is no different.

As ghosts and monsters prepare to strike this Halloween, Americans might find that what haunts them most are not the ghouls at the door—it's the price tags at the store.
