42 Excellent Zombie Movies, Ranging From Horrifying to Hilarious (BuzzFeed) - Page 2

It's not that surprising when you think about it. The zombie myth might go back as far as Ancient Greece and has appeared in Haitian literature since the 17th century. At the time, enslaved Haitians used the zombie archetype to refer to themselves as people who weren't technically dead but didn't feel alive amid their captivity and suffering. These origins have taken on different, often whitewashed forms in pop culture, but the idea of an undead body has a lot of storytelling potential. That's why zombie movies come in so many genres — horror, drama, comedy, action, or a blend. Would you believe that there are even zombie rom-coms?
