The origin of these scary creatures can be traced back to Haiti.

In popular culture, zombies have become a major part since Michael Jackson's Thriller. Apart from that, they have been represented a countless number of times in movies, books, and TV series.

Growing up, children used to hear about the zombie all time. However, few have a concise idea of where these ghoulish creatures originated from.

Originally associated with Haitian rural folk culture, zombies have now also been considered to have emanated as a legend from the slave trade. While there is quite a lot of debate about the origin of these creatures, no one can actually deny the fact that zombie apocalypse jokes are the stuff of legend.

The first major representation on video has been the movie Night of the Living Dead. Such was the influence of the film, that most of what people hear about the zombie today had been a direct influence of that movie.

Over the years, there have been quite a few movies involving these ghoulish creatures.

Notable undertakings would include franchise films like the Resident Evil franchise, Dawn of the Dead, and even the cult classic Shawn of the Dead. However, much like any aspect of popular culture, even the representation of zombies evolved from simple flesh-eating undead creatures to nuanced portrayals involving aspects of love, power, liberation, and equality.

Such adaptations include the Neil Gaiman novel American Gods and the animated movie corpse bride by Tim Burton.
