Brad Pitt in World War Z

Walt

The figure of the zombie has appeared several times in fantasy themed fiction and entertainment, as early as the 1929 novel The Magic Island by William Seabrook. Time claimed that the book “introduced ‘zombi’ into U.S. speech”.  In 1932, Victor Halperin directed White Zombie, a horror film starring Bela Lugosi.

But then I saw that in the early assessment of movie goers that 82% of them liked it and many people have not seen it yet I was encouraged. Having…
