Zombies aren't always undead, though. The traditionally zombie is undead but sometimes they're like, irrevocably diseased, so maybe it doesn't exactly count... The fact that people you know coming back is usually an important part of it is something I forgot! I also forgot that them being contagious is usually pretty important, too.
And yeah, the predation thing. That's almost the entire horror genre, I think. Jaws! Aliens! Dracula!
