Zombies are reputed to be re-animated corpses and are thought to date back into the Afro-Caribbean belief in Voodoo, however versions of the living-dead appear in many other cultures - ours included.
Since The Night Of The Living Dead was released in 1968 it has gone on to attain cult status, (incidentally I'm often called a cult around our office) and although it was not the first Zombie Flick it is often held up as the best. Chocolate syrup was used in this black and white film, the dark gloop looked like thick blood, mummm lick a Zombie today - yummy!
Our friends at www.fancydress.com have pushed the boundaries of good taste with this ragged costume! Several areas of the costume are ripped and they show moulded flesh and rotting vinyl bones sticking through. On a more constructive note they recommend using black make-up to paint the skin of the neck to give a more scary effect.
