Where Zombies Come From – a Video History

Posted on by

These days zombies are the most popular of all monsters.

There was a time however when zombies were only in movies and zombie movies weren’t ever seen on tv, except for a late night showing on pay cable movie channels. Back then, NO ONE would have considered a tv show (let’s make that multiple tv shows) featuring zombies.

All of that changed with The Walking Dead.  But before The Walking Dead, there was George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead.  Romero forever changed the concept of zombies.

Surprisingly, zombies have only been around in popular culture for less than 100 years.  Check out the video below and you’ll see how they entered popular culture, how Romero accidentally changed the concept of zombies and more.
