Clearly the History Channel is out of touch with reality. Where is their zombie content? Oh, wait a second, they do have something that they call a documentary: Zombies: A Living History is available in their online store. Check out the write up:
Most people believe zombies are a recent phenomenon that grew out of comic books, movies and TV. The truth is very different. ZOMBIES: A LIVING HISTORY explores the real story of zombies beginning at the dawn of civilization and continuing right through to today.The first written reference to zombies can be found in the Epic of Gilgamesh, mankind's oldest work of literature. A look both the old and new testaments of The Bible reveals numerous stories of the undead. ZOMBIES: A LIVING HISTORY details how Europe's Black Plague became one of the most prolific periods for myths and legends about zombies. Find out why Viking legends believed zombies were nearly indestructible except by decapitation or immolation. Examine other zombie legends from around the world, including secret stories of China's Terra Cotta Warriors and the voodoo rituals of Haiti. See how modern science added a whole new twist on zombies beginning with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. ZOMBIES: A LIVING HISTORY goes on a journey more than 5,000 years in the making and shows that every civilization and culture has had their own version of the undead.I think I read something similar once before.
It's even available from Amazon.com, but only as an on-demand order. That means that aren't willing to stock it but will burn a DVD for you if you really want it.
If only I had known about this before Christmas, I could have told Santa what I really wanted.
