An examination of why zombies fascinate us. Goes into history: from actual Voudan practice to the film WHite Zombie, then pulp comics, then Romero.
Zombies reflect our fear that deep down we are nothing but appetite. They are uncanny in Freudian sense because they are dead, and yet they move. They sometimes have the faces of our friends and family who have been turned.
They are essentially cinematic because they are so graphic.
