White Zombie used mind controlled men, not the modern dead zombie. Norman Bates in Psycho was based off of Ed Gein, just a little fact.

The number one most parodied scene is the Chestburster from alien, and short behind it the "get away from her, you bitch" scene from Aliens.

Alien's release made an immediate impact and started a hoard, just as, say, Brittney Spears started a Pop hoard, still going on to this day.

Not the creator, but certainly the remaster and the one to kickstart a slow genre.
