While zombies have become a staple of the horror genre, their time has been relatively short in the media. Unlike other monsters like vampires, werewolves, and ghosts, zombies are a modern construct created on the screen as opposed to literature, at least as the fresh-hungry monsters we know them as today. While it is almost universal knowledge that the living dead crave brains, this concept was only introduced as recently as 1985 and is only one of a few stepping stones that have led to zombies as we view them today in movies, TV, and video games.
