Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to provide the pop‐culture zombie phenomenon with a broader context. Having acknowledged that the zombie‐films’ “patient zero” was recorded in the American continent, and then the epidemic spread out globally, the author describes audio‐visual productions whose plot takes places in the United States and were produced therein. In this day and age, the figure of zombie may be treated as a form of American public’s dissent against the disappointing and unreliable political and economic system. Setting the plot of the said films outside the urbanised areas or at their frontiers, metaphorically depicts an attempt to defend, presently dwindling, traditional values.
