Ethnobotanist Wade Davis traveled to Haiti in 1982 after hearing reports of zombification. He found that the “zombies” were most likely exposed to a dangerous mix of potent neurotoxins and hallucinogens. He wrote his discoveries in the book The Serpent in the Rainbow, which was adapted into a movie of the same name by horror director Wes Craven in 1988. Some critics have dismissed his work as unscientific or fraudulent.
