Atlanta Zombie Symposium
September 12, 2009
Georgia Tech
Plaza Theatre
Graveyard Tavern
The idea of the Zombie long predates that of the bloodthirsty undead that populated horror films since the 1960s. The original zombies were drugged victims under the control of certain powerful spiritual practitioners. Zombification may have been used as punishment for certain crimes. Lately, the word “zombie” has found a place in diverse discussions, in disciplines such as economics, computer science, and entomology, among others.
The Atlanta Zombie Symposium includes a panel discussion, entitled The Zombie Perceived: Religion, Media, and Society; a double feature film screening of Night of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead; and Dance of the Undead, a dance party with Zombie Transformation Chamber. Area partners will participate through presenting other interpretations of the idea of the “zombie”.
