This episode of Toke Lore, Sarah and Kiki delve into the history behind the Haitian Vodou Zombie. We discuss the history of Haiti and how it influenced the creation of zombies. We then distinguish the difference between the zombie we’re used to in things like World War Z and 28 Days Later and the very real zombies that exist in Haiti… maybe even today.
