Zombies have long been a staple of horror, but their portrayal has evolved dramatically over the decades. Early films like Night of the Living Dead (1968) introduced the concept of reanimated corpses, while George A. Romero’s groundbreaking work set the template for future zombie narratives. Modern takes, such as World War Z (2013) and Train to Busan (2016), redefine zombification with faster, more aggressive undead and fresh storytelling angles. TV shows like The Walking Dead and Z Nation have expanded the genre, blending survival drama with psychological depth. This evolution reflects society’s shifting fears—from Cold War anxieties to pandemics and societal collapse.
