    A zombie is a dead person that is brought back to life through a curse (voodoo, necromancy) or a mutation and has recovered some vital functions like movement.

    They are near-mindless, possessing little reasoning power, though many can perform "remembered behaviors" from their mortal existence.

    Zombies are omnipresent in the folklore of Haïti, where they are created by voodoo, an african type of black witchcraft. More recently, zombies films have exposed new theories according to which man-made virus or genetical experiments are held responsible for the creation of zombies. Such films put a strong emphasis on flesh and blood : rotting bodies and their attendant maggots, as well as the still-warm gore resulting from savage, often cannibalistic attacks upon the living.

    in Return OTLD it was a gas that turned people into zombies

    and they ate brains because it was the only thing that would soothe the pain of rotting
