What is a Zombie Apocalypse?

Let's just come right out with it that a zombie apocalypse is fiction. Night of the Living Dead wasn't the first zombie movie and actually never used the word zombie in the film but most film scholars give it the credit for kicking off the zombie craze in 1968.

A zombie apocalypse is a collapse of society due to swarms of zombies. Some versions of zombies are based on the dead rising and attacking humans while others are infected by a parasite or something biological that causes people to turn if they are bitten by another zombie. There are usually a few humans left to try and combat these zombies like in the TV series The Walking Dead.
