Something might come out of this thread after all! On the zombie topic, as stated earlier, the people supporting the Night of the Dead zombies can't even call themselves as purists, since their zombies are also a new form of zombie, jsut like the current definition. However, if we look at the older definitions, anything that is lacing a free will was basically termed a zombie, since, supposedly, thw whole idea came from Voodoo priests from the Caribbean, which came from Africa, and their ability to control humans using certain techniques. Those controlled humans were defined as Zombies.
