Rise of the Zombie Movie
Much like the mythical characters it portrays, once the zombie movie rose, it couldn't be killed. In 1932, the premiere of White Zombie launched the zombie movie genre, but was 1968's Night of the Living Dead that turned "zombie" into a household name. Since the 2000s, zombies have become staples of the big and small screens, with the living dead overrunning the horror film genre.
