Zombie

myth:zombie

The risen dead. The zombie was born in the Haitian zombi — the soulless body raised to toil, a horror rooted in the memory of slavery — and was remade by Romero into the shambling, cannibal horde of the apocalypse: the faceless mass, the spreading contagion, the plague and the mob made one. The dead who come not back to themselves, but only to consume. — genre history
