supernatural creatures that are said to be deceased but continue to exist in some form, such as zombies, vampires, and ghosts
What are the "undead"?
The undead are supernatural beings that have returned to life after death, often depicted in folklore, horror fiction, and mythology. Unlike living beings, the undead are typically characterized by their inability to fully die or rest, existing in a state between life and death. Common examples of undead creatures include zombies, vampires, and ghosts. These beings are often portrayed as having unnatural qualities, such as immortality, a need to feed on the living, or the ability to haunt or terrorize people. The concept of the undead symbolizes the fear of death and the unknown, as well as the disruption of the natural order.
