While zombies are a terrifying component of modern-day horror and fantasy genres, these monsters actually have a storied history. The first notion of reanimated corpses originated from the folklore of what culture?

The word zombie stems from the Haitian French word "zombi" or the Haitian Creole word "zonbi" as it was used in traditional folk tales. These "mythological undead corporeal revenants" are formed from the reanimated of a dead body through a variety of methods, such as voodoo.
