Though zombies’ popularity is cyclical, they have always been reimagined and come back to walk among us…Or at least on our screens! Their first full-length film appearance was in White Zombie, all the way back in 1932! Like all horror movie archetypes, they reflect current societal issues and discomforts.
Zombies are beloved movie monsters that have evolved and adapted throughout their long on-screen history.
