Zoltan the Zombie loves to tag along in "Zombie Run" events & get his photo taken, but even a good marathon that supports an improtant cause will do. Take Tiffany along with you & get her photo while you run an event. However, Zoltan is in a RACE with his girlfriend, Tiffany the Zombie (TB7KJ78) , to travel to the origins of zombie & voodo legends, Haiti... which could be difficult, since there are only 7 current caches there!
As traditions & zombie culture go... In America, the legends of zombies grew out of the cultures created by African slavery and colonialism in the Caribbean. Folklore experts have traced the idea of the zombi back to Vodoun practices in Haiti, where tales have long been told of people brought back from the dead as shambling shadows of themselves. Sometimes these zombis are under the control of a master, and sometimes they simply wander mindlessly.So when did the flesh-eating, Americanized "zombie" emerge into pop culture, out of African-Caribbean myths circulated during slavery? Probably in the early 1920s, when sensationalistic accounts of "Voodoo" from white tourists in Haiti began to percolate into pulp fiction by authors like H.P. Lovecraft. And then came the turning point: In 1932, Bela Lugosi starred in White Zombie, about an evil white colonialist in Haiti whose sugar mills are run entirely by zombies.
