The zombie is one of the most recognizable figures in American popular culture, known for its soulless eyes, lumbering shuffle, and desire to eat flesh. The origins of this figure are not as popularly known, nor are the evolutions it has undergone. It originated in Haitian religion and culture, and was later introduced to American audiences in William Seabrook's travel narrative, The Magic Island. The original fright generated by the zombie was its identity as a stolen body that was emotionless, fully obedient, and devoid of personality. This Haitian figure spoke to particular fears in a black republic establishing itself in the shadow of slavery and colonial exploitation. The figure was portrayed in early American zombie films in its Caribbean context as a stolen body, but with heavy aspects of cultural appropriation. In George Romero's film Night of the Living Dead the figure shifted to North America, and the primary terror of the zombie became its presentation as a weaponized body and agent of mass contagion. In the 21st century the figure of the "fast" zombie emerged, a new evolution which presented the figure as the ultimate biological weapon. These major evolutions have reflected the cultural contexts of the societies in which they emerged.
