Yes! I think you're right. The original is simple and sparse, and sometimes sequels are like where somebody just keeps talking after the story is over. They start nailing things down and "exploring" things that really shouldn't be explored. I'd definitely say that's part of what happens in the Dead movies--they start poking at the zombies and getting to know them.
Probably the best fanfic creates another world that also brings up questions, even while they're answering some of the things not fleshed out in canon.
