My opinion is that it is a direct result of the rapidly escalating moral decline in our world, led by the "prince" of this world and the "king" of death, Satan. The Bible clearly tells us that:
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44)
Indeed, Satan would have us all to believe that "living" as a vampire or ghost or zombie is somehow appealing. But Satan is a master counterfeiter and so he takes the bountiful, exciting immortal life that we will all live as followers of Christ and tries to create his own immortal life for humans in the form of these creatures of death. Satan, a murderer and thief from the beginning, has only one goal:
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (John 10:10)
And when they say to you, “Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living? (Isaiah 8:19)
Don't be tempted by Satan's lies and tricks. He is desperate for he knows what his end will be. Instead, believe in the One who gave His life for you. Satan will continue to try and lure you and your children from the Light where every evil act is revealed for what it is and instead tempt you to believe what he's selling is better, sexier, more fun. It's a lie.
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. (James 1:14-15)
Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, (Hebrews 2:14)
My friends, the only death you should concern yourself with is the death to your own selfish desires and sin. If you're willing to give up what is killing you, Jesus is faithful to give you a new birth into a new LIFE where there is no more death. You will truly live forever as a child of the Living God, the King of all Kings and will enjoy all the benefits of being part of this royal family. Don't go to the movies about ghosts, goblins, demons, zombies and vampires. Turn off the television shows that glorify these things. Don't read books and stories about such things. Doing so only leads you down a very dark and dangerous rabbit hole.
