Zombies

They live on the living. They eat your flesh and if you get bit by one of them you become one of them. Zombies are one of Hollywood's biggest box office hits. Many movies, such as Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days/Weeks Later, Day of the Dead, Resident Evil and so on, have been made to create an idea of what the world would be like if the dead roamed the earth. The old saying goes, "When Hell runs out of room, the dead come back to life". Regularly, when we think of zombies, we think of slow, dimwitted creatures who drag their legs with a pivoted foot and raise their arms out in front of them. Today, the creation of zombies have been modified to show more advancement in ability and coordination. In the re-make movie of Dawn of the Dead, George A. Romero decided to make zombies that ran fast and sharp minded. Usually, a virus of some sort is spread airborne, which causes the body to come back alive when dead. When a zombie bites a living human being, they become a zombie after they die. The cycle runs on and on.

Many people wonder, where did the idea of zombies come from?

The idea originally came from the Afro-Caribbean belief of Voodoo. You see, when someone died, a sorcerer can revive the dead. However, when the dead rises, they no longer have control of their mind. Their mind belongs to whatever brought them back from the dead.
