Salt, once again, is the chemical antidote to becoming a drugged zombie.Īccording to the Romeroverse, a zombie is a mindless, dead body brought to life that feeds off the living. Many people associate zombies as a metaphor for Haitian slavery.Ī zombie can be a person presumed dead that has been drugged (there are drugs that can make someone appear to be dead) and put in a hypnotic trance in order to fulfill the will of its master. In Haitian Folklore, a Zombie is a reanimated corpse with half a soul or no soul that serves as a slave for his master, or Bokor, and they can only be saved if they are fed salt. It’s hard to think of a genre that doesn’t include zombies, but what exactly is a zombie? The living dead never rest, and because of that they have plenty of jobs not only in television and cinema, but also in the video game industry.
