WRT footnote: *strictly* speaking, they don't, but the antagonists in that are coded as "other" in really really hard ways, so I'll grant it you, especially given how little focus is on "why they are as they are" and so much of it is on "what they are which is not human" in the general socially accepted sense of "human".
I mean, *really really* strictly speaking, Night of the Living Dead is scifi. But speaking that strictly does kind of miss the essence of it. ;)
