Description
Zombie – the undead magnet of Romero's horror that transformed the end of the world into social commentary.
Zombie / Undead is the most widely used horror monster in the genre — the reanimated corpse that George Romero transformed into a social metaphor in 1968's Night of the Living Dead, and to which all subsequent zombie fiction owed its work. The zombie wasn't just a horror monster: it was the neighbor, the family member, the colleague who became unrecognizable, and Romero used this to critique American society in 1968 in ways that film critics still debate. This collectible Zombie magnet, compatible with Lego, represents the undead of the horror genre.
The gray skin. The dragging. And the monster, which was all the more disturbing because it was someone you'd known before.
The Heart of the Zombie: The Familiar Turned into a Threat
Zombies work in horror because Romero understood that the most specific terror wasn't the unknown monster but the irretrievably familiar one—zombification as a metaphor for how societies lose their humanity, and the surrounded survivor as a metaphor for modern isolation.
This Zombie magnet is for horror fans — and for George Romero fans.
