![Zombies: A Living History [DVD]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81InobdXbvL.jpg)
A fascinating look at a subject that refuses to die. Most people believe zombies are a recent phenomenon that grew out of comic books, movies and TV. The truth is very different. This HISTORY special explores the real story of zombies beginning at the dawn of civilisation and continuing right through to today. The first written reference to zombies can be found in the Epic of Gilgamesh, mankind s oldest work of literature. A look at both the old and new testaments of The Bible reveal numerous stores of the undead. We ll detail how Europe s Black Plague became one of the most prolific periods for myths and legends about zombies and find out why Viking legends believed zombies were nearly indestructible, except by decapitation or immolation. Examine other zombie legends from around the world, including secret stories of China s Terra Cotta Warriors and the voodoo rituals of Haiti. See how modern science added a whole new twist on zombies beginning with Mary Shelley s Frankenstein.

Interesting and enjaoyable for any zombie fan
Actually, this is far more fascinating and serious than I expected. Thoroughly enjoyed it . . . lots of (zombie) food for thought!

Average account of the zombie genre
Bought this dvd cause i wanted to have an official zombie doc cause i have seen many zombie movies and i'm a big fan of the genre. This was not bad was not great either. It had refferences to a few well known movies and it also had the zombie story before the 1968 event when zombies became flesh eating in the romero NOTLD movie. Kind of boring overall and i suggest this dvd only to the die hard fans.
