The process of animating corpse; in the traditional voudoun religion, this is achieved through fissioning the
soul to detatch that part responsible for individuality, though it has been theorised that the actual process, if it exists, could involve toxxins extracted from (for example) the
blowfish.
Much has been made of zombification, and particularly as a result of biophages, on the silver screen, an early example being the 'Night of the Living Dead' trilogy and more recently the 'Resident
Evil' games and films. In the former, the process is
less important than the results of mass zombification.
Zombification is also a word used to describe the effects of the dulling or desensitising influences of modern culture, or numbing experiences in
general.
The malefactuer continued to wait; when the
victim called his name, the zombification would be complete.
Television today is nothing but mass zombification!
