He is the quintessential character in fictional literature and the horror genre. Surpassing even figures like the ghost or the vampire, the zombie has become an indisputable myth and faithful representation of horror in its purest form. It is about a character deeply charged with mystery who survives death and the very mystery of life to return to the world of the living and satisfy its most primitive need by feeding on every human being that it encounters. Undoubtedly his figure is inseparable from magic and more specifically from voodoo, since the way back to this world is propitiated by a ritual carried out by a sorcerer who tries to turn him into a slave, since as is known the resurrected one is left behind. the total mercy of the one who has brought him back to life.

I personally am an inveterate fan of this iconography and it has always been fascinating for me, which is why it has been impossible for me to ignore the fantastic video it has developed Xbox in the form of time-lapse and that stops at the aesthetic and evolutionary analysis of this species originated in the collective imagination of generations and generations (specifically in the video the evolution of this icon is analyzed during the last 100 years). It is impressive because in it we discover almost a society parallel to the real one, where its members are integrating physical and aesthetic changes, developing fashions, including behaviors and forms of their origin or genesis as a species through the spread of viruses in their most varied forms. Then I leave you with this fantastic video that will excite everyone who considers himself a true fan and follower of the zombie movement.
