Trace the origins of zombies from the Afro-Haitian religion of vodou, and discover how zombification was a reflection of slavery.
--
Zombies have a distinct lineage- one that traces back to Equatorial and Central Africa. For three centuries, African people were enslaved and brought to the Caribbean Islands. There, a religion known as vodou developed, along with the belief that a person’s soul can be captured and stored, becoming a body-less zombie. Christopher M. Moreman uncovers the true origins of the undead.
Lesson by Christopher M. Moreman, directed by Kaspar Jancis.

Interesting to know that the belief in zombies has origins in Africa. Here in Uganda it's widely believed (and for good reasons) that in some districts, there are residents with powerful medicine, who can enchant corpses and unsuspecting sleeping people to dig acres and acres of land for them at night.

This is the first thing I thought they'd mention when I clicked the video and was kinda disappointed. Guess they've focused more on zombies as a cultural icon. I've read that it's possible to poison someone to make it appear he/she is dead (pufferfish toxin or something), then dig out the body and revive it into a basically drugged out "zombie".

I don't consume a lot of zombie media, but I feel like most depictions of zombies in the last couple decades that I've seen generally address that victim vs monster dilemma. The zombies are monsters because they're trying to kill the protagonists, but they're also acknowledged as victims because they were once living innocent people. It seems like a common trope now for characters to wrestle with a loved one becoming a zombie because they have to wade through the ethical dilemma of deciding if the zombie is a monster that must be dispatched or a victim that can be saved.

What's in a name? The flesh-eating cadavers we now call "zombies" were called "ghouls" since the 18th century; prior to that, the word "vampire" amply covered the concept. Then LeFanu, then Pomidori after Byron, and finally Stoker refined the vampire into a cursed noble rather than a mere savage cannibal corpse. So "ghoul" took over. When audiences started calling George Romero's movie creatures "zombies", they were using the wrong word, having seemingly forgotten about ghouls... but the term stuck, and here we are with zombies an indelible facet of Western culture. Weird.

It’s od to because Haiti is one interpretation of zombies but obviously not the original because it goes back to the medieval age

In some regions of Madagascar zombies are called "Lolo Vokatra" which can be translated as "ripe ghost".

The craze for media with these things traumatized me back in the early to mid 2010s, my OCD fears regarding them (I'm watching this video) have gotten a lot better but I don't think I will ever not resent the topic just a little bit. Before anyone says no one asked, I'm aware that probably no one cares. But the fact is that the idea of zombies and the media depicting had such a profoundly negative and damaging effect on my life and I feel as though I should share as a way to reflect on it.
