Zombies

The concept of zombies has roots in Haitian folklore, where a zombie is a dead body reanimated through magical practices in religions like Voodoo. In film and literature, zombies are commonly portrayed as mindless, flesh-eating beings driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Zombies are often reanimated through various means such as magic, science, or contagion and used to explore themes of survival, societal breakdown, and human nature. They can symbolize various fears and anxieties, such as the loss of individuality, the spread of disease, or the collapse of civilization.
