Anyone? Anyone?

Ah! I think I heard somebody in the crowd say "Voodoo"! You are correct. And what also comes with the power of Voodoo? That's right, mind control!

If a zombie apocalypse were to happen, it would harken back to where it originated from, and the vodou priestesses wouldn't stop with simply reanimating the dead. They too would know all this, and what do you think they'd do? Use their various other powers to make Humans turn against each other? Bingo! They'd have to be idiots not to!

So, in conclusion, if a zombie apocalypse happened in the way such things were intended to happen, we would be in a whole lot more trouble. The idea of zombies is actually Norse, they had many versions of 'Zombies' first off would be einherjar who die honorably in battle and are chosen by Woden to drink and dine in valhalla until the end of the world when they go forth and kill the minions of the giants and then die.

Another version is the Draugr which is a man who died unhonorably in battle (I.E. they were bandits or highwaymen.) they are thus forced to stay in their tomb until released and when released they must kill, loot, and plunder.

Despite contrary belief Helhiem is not that bad it is in fact just people living out their mundane life with no adventure. The worst punishment possible is to be a Draugr.
