Our media portrayals of vampire, ghosts, and zombies are unique to our contemporary culture. For this assignment, choose one of these three undead figures and describe its meaning in a cultural or religious context of your choice. Find readings to support your claims. Then, compare the American popular media portrayal of that undead figure to the way it functions in the chosen culture.

The paper must be two to three pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly resources which can be found in the Ashford Online Library and the textbook to support your claims and subclaims. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page.
