The living dead have been lurking in media and popular culture since the 1930s, but
they have never been more popular or ubiquitous on screen than they are today. Zombies
have colonized the movies, television, video games, the internet even smartphones
and the invitation shows no sign of ending soon. Our hunger for them, like hunger
for us, seems insatiable. Zombie Cinema charts the transformation of these horror
film monsters into pop culture icons, exploring their enormous appeal to views in
the twenty-first century. It traces the evolution of the living dead on film from
the voodoo slaves of White Zombie and I Walked With a Zombie to the reanimated ghouls
of Night of the Living Dead and Zombie Flesh Eaters to the rabid infected of 28 Days
Later and World War Z, and surveys the present cinematic landscape, in which zombies
have overrun every imaginable genre from the indie comedy, Zombieland, to the teen
romance, Warm Bodies, to the animated children s movie, Paranorman
