About this listen

From Haitian voodoo rituals to the flesh-eating hordes of The Walking Dead — zombies have taken over pop culture and show no signs of slowing down. In this episode of Everything is Grey, we dive deep into the origins of zombie lore, starting with White Zombie (1932), and explore how George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead redefined the genre forever. We’ll break down the hidden symbolism in films like 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead, and Train to Busan — and uncover why we can’t stop watching the undead. Is it fear of societal collapse? A reflection of our inner monsters? Or just the thrill of survival? Tune in and find out why zombies have become the ultimate reflection of human nature.
