three monsters for halloween: zombie

about

in the haitian tradition (rather than the hollywood one) a zombie was a reanimated corpse sold into slavery and damned to exist in that state for ever.

in a related belief a zombie was forever stopped from being returned to the spiritual homeland of Africa (particularly Guinea) by Baron Samedi.

the removal of the shadow of slavery from the zombie legend in the american consciousness is, perhaps, rather telling.
