僵尸的黑暗历史 

僵尸有一个独特的血统——可以追溯到赤道和中非。 三个世纪以来，非洲人民被奴役并被带到加勒比群岛。 在那里，一种被称为伏都教的宗教发展起来，同时人们相信一个人的灵魂可以被捕获和储存，成为一个没有身体的僵尸。 Christopher M. Moreman 揭开了不死生物的真正起源。 [由 Kaspar Jancis 执导，Addison Anderson 讲述，Salil Bhayani 音乐，cAMP Studio]。

Zombies originated in Equatorial and Central Africa, where beliefs about spirits and the afterlife shaped early ideas of the undead. When enslaved Africans were brought to the Caribbean, these traditions merged with colonial Catholicism to form Haitian vodou, which saw zombies as tragic figures condemned to labor even after death. After the US occupation of Haiti, Western pop culture twisted the zombie narrative, erasing its roots and recasting the zombie as a flesh-hungry monster. Early films like 'White Zombie' shifted sympathy away from the victims, recasting the story for American audiences.
