You're probably familiar with those "100 years of style" videos showing how clothing and hairdos have evolved and shifted over time. The folks over at Xbox decided to take that concept and apply it to "100 Years of Zombie Evolution in Pop Culture."

Xbox posted the video to its official YouTube channel on Tuesday. It rates the video as M, or Mature, for "blood and gore, intense violence and strong language." The video doesn't have any NSFW words, but it does delve into plenty of physical caage.

It kicks off in black and white with a look at voodoo zombies from 1932. These are almost unrecognizable based on today's "Walking Dead" standards for reanimated corpses. Instead of a mysterious medical outbreak, the creature is created through sipping a "special concoction."
