This latest decade-long fad of zombie shows and novels is hardly the beginning of our obsession with the undead reanimating and coming back to pay a nefarious visit. No, those hollowed-out eyes, that drooling lethargy, the blood thirst driving these inhuman abominations to feast upon the life force of the living...see, this wasn't even a new idea when the legendary George Romero filmed "Night of the Living Dead." The idea of zombies goes back centuries, if not millennia, and on today's episode we take a dive back and learn about how they fit into the medieval set of fears and belief.
