A «zombie» is a fictional undead creature that has become a staple of horror and popular culture. Zombies are typically depicted as reanimated corpses with an insatiable hunger for human flesh and a lack of consciousness. They are often associated with apocalyptic scenarios and are a common theme in horror movies, books, video games, and other forms of media.
Key characteristics of zombies include:
1. **Reanimation:** Zombies are usually portrayed as dead bodies that have somehow come back to life. The exact cause of their reanimation varies depending on the fictional universe.
2. **Mindlessness:** Zombies are typically depicted as mindless and lacking higher cognitive functions. They operate on instinct, driven by an overwhelming desire to consume human flesh.
3. **Hunger for Flesh:** One of the defining traits of zombies is their appetite for human flesh. They will relentlessly pursue and attack living humans to satisfy their hunger.
4. **Slow and Shuffling:** Traditionally, zombies are slow-moving and often depicted as shuffling or stumbling. However, some modern interpretations feature faster and more agile zombies.
5. **Infection:** In many zombie narratives, a bite or scratch from a zombie can infect a living person, turning them into a zombie as well. This concept adds an element of contagion and fear.
6. **Apocalyptic Scenarios:** Zombie stories often take place in post-apocalyptic settings where society has collapsed due to a zombie outbreak. Survivors must navigate a dangerous world filled with the undead.
Some of the most famous zombie-related works include George A. Romero’s «Night of the Living Dead» (1968), which played a significant role in popularizing the modern zombie archetype, and Robert Kirkman’s «The Walking Dead» comic series (2003) and its television adaptation.
Zombies have become a versatile metaphor in fiction, representing various societal fears and anxieties, such as the fear of contagion, loss of identity, and the breakdown of civilization. They continue to be a prominent element in horror and are frequently featured in movies, TV shows, video games, and literature.
