Sexualisation of children in the contemporary media, June 2008
Hanging out and Growing up with social media
Television(TV) and Children(Development and Behaviour)
What about TV and aggressive or violent behavior?
Literally thousands of studies since the 1950s have asked whether there is a link between exposure to media violence and violent behavior. All but 18 have answered, "Yes." The evidence from the research is overwhelming. According to the AAP, "Extensive research evidence indicates that media violence can contribute to aggressive behavior, desensitization to violence, nightmares, and fear of being harmed." [14] Watching violent shows is also linked with having less empathy toward others [14a].

You are, of course, welcome to your opinion about zombie and vampire movies, but I don't understand why this is posted in the Medical Issues & Conspiracies forum?
Also, if you have issues with your own teens watching these types of movies; parent up and make them stop, that is one of the many duties of being a parent.
Criminology FSU - Learning
Certainly, it can not be proven that a media depiction might stimulate an otherwise ordinary person to commit a crime. Although research has established the media's influence on some deviant behaviors, it has not established a direct causal connection between media stimuli and specific deviant behaviors apart from other variables appearing in combination. Simply because a media depiction is followed by the reoccurrence of a similar event does not indicate a connection. In some cases, alleged copycats have stated they knew nothing of the previous publicized incident. Research is needed in the areas of long-term media effects, media models, and at-risk populations. For example, what is the long-term impact of viewing of thousands of violence acts in cartoons and television shows watched by children as they grow up?
Like her character,her violence both horrified and empowered audiences, and became the inspiration for
a string of unprecedented violent female copycats (Box 10.2).

Yes,
What Hollywood is doing is turning teens onto vampires and all horrors.
They only want money.
They don't care that your teen is having hideous images in their brain. And is into death and vampires and zombies.
