A
zombie is a creature that appears in books, films and popular culture. It is typically a reanimated corpse, or a human being who is being controlled by someone else by use of magic. More recent stories have used a
pandemic illness to explain them. Stories of zombies originated in the
West African spiritual belief system of
voodoo, which told of the people being controlled as laborers by a powerful wizard. Zombies became a popular device in modern horror fiction, largely because of the success of George A. Romero's 1968 film
Night of the Living Dead. I'm really scared. Imagine that ZOMBIES come to our house and eat our BRAIN ?!!
