Medieval zombies
I heard a lecture today on the horror/worship relationship that medieval sources had with lepers. Halfway through, as the prof was describing people's disgust at the sight of shambling beggars losing their extremities, I had sudden visions of a George Romero film set in medieval Europe.

I wonder if any of the common tropes from zombie movies have their origins in medieval literature? This calls for Serious Academic Research.
