Summary: Halloween is quickly approaching. There is a chill in the air as millions prepare for a night of mischief and horror! As many popular films have depicted, one of the most terrifying yet intriguing disguises of Halloween is the zombie. Eerily walking, devoid of human rationale, this walking emblem of death comes to life for a variety of reasons. A zombie may be an unsettled soul searching for peace, or it may be searching to fulfill their lust for human brains. The zombie is thought to have originated from the tenets of Voodoo. Based on legend, a deceased person can be summoned to life by a Voodoo sorcerer. According to this myth, powerful drugs such as tetrodotoxin or datura enable these half dead and half live people to wonder the land with no will of their own. As iconic as zombies have become in our society, Halloween would not be the same without these ghouls wondering the night.
