The origin of zombie stories comes from Haiti's unique cultural and spiritual traditions. In Haitian voodoo, zombies were seen as people who had been put under a spell that made them appear dead and then later reanimated in a trance - like state. This idea was likely influenced by a combination of African religious beliefs brought over during the slave trade and local Caribbean superstitions. Over the years, this concept of the zombie has been adapted and transformed in Western media. From early pulp fiction that used the idea in a more exotic and mysterious way to the modern, gory, and action - packed zombie movies and TV shows, the basic idea has been stretched and reshaped. But it all started with the fascinating and somewhat eerie beliefs in Haiti.
