Abstract
Video games, novels, comics, television series... and especially movies which is the resource from where its representation and meaning has developed throughout history. In this article we make a tour of the background needed to understand where these monsters come from, their main features and their evolution on the cinema from 1932 to the present. Likewise, a review is made of the main metaphors and social readings associated with these beings and we reflect if we can learn something about them. Ultimately a radio experience about the zombie movies is presented, we intend to approach formatively the living dead and their most relevant films over time that have become today a whole counterculture icon.
