[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 686214, member: 101136"] The classic zombie idea or "undead" came from old Voodoo folklore.. But the reality was probably the practice of poisoning someone (say as a punishment or if there was a grudge against the individual.) with a drug that paralized them giving the "appearance" of death. The unfortunate person was then buried alive... Sometimes the victim managed to dig their way out when the drug wore off. However the bedraggled survivor with the associated phycological trauma of the ordeal would have been seen as an evil omen or curse... The "undead." The virus is a modern movie industry idea...still based along medical lines though...! [/QUOTE]
