I'd have to say The Walking Dead. As far as I remember, it spawned the zombie craze, and nothing good came from that.

It was a product of the craze more than anything, the romero remakes predated it by a good bit.

28 Days Later probably did that, followed up with the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Walking Dead didn't get popular until it landed on AMC and TWD has been in publication since 2003.
