Thread Name: BS: zombies
Subject: RE: BS: zombies
I think people are confusing zombies, which are indigenous to Haiti and other Caribbean countries, New Orleans and possibly Africa with ghūls, aswangs, manananggals, penanggalans, and similar "undead" beings and demons.

It sends a frisson of horror down the spine while knowing that you are actually safe from such (barring certain psychiatric cases).
