Zombies

Zombies are fictional creatures often depicted as reanimated corpses or humans infected by a pathogen that causes aggressive, mindless behavior. In popular culture, they typically seek to bite or infect others, leading to the spread of the infection. While zombies are not real, they symbolize themes of disease, loss of individuality, and societal collapse. The concept originated from folklore and was popularized by horror stories and movies, serving as a metaphor for various fears, like pandemics or societal breakdown.
