You might be wondering if brain-eating monsters and the walking dead are just pieces of fiction. That virus outbreaks are something so unlikely they belong to the spookiness for Halloween. You're absolutely right, real life zombies don't exist. But let's say this was all true. What if the world was taken over by a virus, forcing people to quarantine themselves. Nobody's allowed to travel anywhere, and worst of it all - toilet paper is rationed. Would you still not be scared?

What are zombies?

In a nutshell, a zombie is usually a decaying human co**se that has reawakened from sleep with one goal - to seek and eat brains (most probably because it doesn't have its own 🧠) or other parts of the human body. Reanimation of this creature from the grave involves magic in many cases. Sometimes new zombies arise by spreading an unknown virus or scientific accidents with chemical compounds or radiation. Sometimes we refer to zombies as infected, whose bites can turn a human into another zombie.
It may be surprising, but zombies have a long history! Archaeologists found many ancient Greek graves with skeletons pinned down by rocks or other heavy objects, suggesting that people wanted to prevent the dead bodies from reanimating. However, the term zombie comes from Haitian folklore, which means an animated co**se that has been made alive again by magic. Right now, we sometimes refer to people as "zombies" when they seem only partially alive, without any feeling or interest in what is happening.
Zombies appear in literature, movies, and games. The earliest book with the word "zombie" was written by Pierre-Corneille Blessebois in 1697 in Le Zombi du grand Pérou. In modern pop culture, there are now hundreds of stories about zombies. We decided to include in the calculator some of the characters from our favorite movies:
