These creatures are often characterized by their insatiable hunger for human flesh and their slow, shuffling movements. The concept of zombies has roots in folklore and has evolved over time, particularly in films and literature. Zombies are commonly associated with apocalyptic scenarios, where a virus or supernatural event causes the dead to rise. Popular culture has embraced this theme, leading to iconic works such as George A. Romero's films and the TV series "The Walking Dead".
