A zombie (Haitian French: zombi, Haitian Creole: zonbi) is a fictional undead being created through the reanimation of a human corpse. Zombies are most commonly found in horror and fantasy genre works. The term comes from Haitian folklore, where a zombie is a dead body reanimated through various methods, most commonly magic. Modern depictions of zombies do not necessarily involve magic but often invoke science fictional methods such as radiation or viruses.
The English word "zombie" is first recorded in 1819, in a history of Brazil by the poet Robert Southey, in the form of "zombi". The Oxford English Dictionary gives the origin of the word as West African, and compares it to the Kongo words nzambi (god) and zumbi (fetish).
One of the first books to expose Western culture to the concept of the voodoo zombie was The Magic Island by W.B. Seabrook in 1929. This is the sensationalized account of a narrator who encounters voodoo cults in Haiti and their resurrected thralls. Time claimed that the book "introduced 'zombi' into U.S. speech".

She infects the computers with a virus designed to erase all the data on the network. The virus has a chain reaction and doesn't erase the data, but re-writes the files instead. CHEMWORLD has a plan to stop the virus in their computers. But just before they start, an accident happens and the main chemical they were developing for the government leaks into the air. The first technician to die from the explosion of the "CHEMICAL" instantaneously becomes a zombie and starts munching on people. Once bitten, the body dies very quickly to be resurrected as a zombie. The zombies very quickly overtake the research station and... (you have to wait for the movie....) The government has sent out a group of Special Ops to investigate the problem. Captain Mike Belcher must take his team there but the threat of the "un-dead" continues to grow.

Child is slowly taken.
And the violence cause such silence;
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me,
It's not my family,
In your head, in your head,
They are fighting.
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns,
In your head, in your head,
They are crying.
What's In your head, in your head,
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie.
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie.
Another mother's breakin,
Heart is taken over.
When the violence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It's the same old theme since 1916.
In your head, in your head,
They're still fighting.
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns,
In your head, in your head,
They are dying.
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie.
What's in your head, in your head?
