With the popularity of the TV show The Walking Dead, more and
more people are getting into zombie fandom.
But where did all this zombie love come from or what started it all?
First, What are Zombies?
Zombies are fictional undead creatures, usually
depicted as mindless, reanimated human corpses with a hunger for living human
flesh. Zombies are most commonly found
in horror and fantasy genre works.
The term Zombie
comes from Haitian folklore: The
Haitian /French “zombie” and the Haitian / Creole “zonbi” is a dead
body animated by magic. Modern depictions of zombies do not involve magic but
invoke other methods such as a virus or illness.
