What's the origin of the "Zombie Apocalypse" concept in film/games/fiction/etc.?

Re the Serenity variant:

[spoiler]Hmm… if I’m very very lucky, I’d rather be killed first, raped, and THEN eaten. Or maybe, (if I’m in a whimsical mood that day,) killed first, then eaten, and then raped, but I’m not so sure about that.

Or are you implying that nobody is ever lucky enough to be killed first??[/spoiler]

[SPOILER]Well, where’s the fun if they can’t kick and scream while you’re at it? :cool:

In any case, Zoe explained it as “They’ll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skin into their clothing. And if we’re very very lucky, they’ll do it in that order.”[/SPOILER]
