Zombee Candles

We feature a lot of Zombie themed hand crafted items here at Buy Zombie. So today I went with something that was zombie ‘related’ but it in a kind of random way. Some of the names may have been inspired by the undead but the mascot is actually a bee (hence zomBEE.) If you are into candles you may enjoy these scents and the names that go along with them 😉

A little more about Zombee Candles straight from the website!

The first of our two primary totem inspirations for our candle brand is the zombie. The zombie originally found its way into American pop culture during the U.S Army occupation of Haiti (1915-1934). American servicemen returned from the Caribbean with incredible accounts of the Haitian practice of voodoo [or, vodou, literally meaning spirit]. They told tales of the “zombi” as a person who is raised from the dead to do the bidding of the person responsible for reviving it. These stories were serialized, novelized and also inevitably made into films typically set on plantations and starring horror greats like Bela Lugosi (King of the Zombies, Revolt of the Zombies, White Zombie).

The popularity of zombie subject matter faded from the national consciousness abruptly in the early 1940’s and in a manner contrary to their very folklore nature they died…only to rise again. They were revived in what we consider their ultimate incarnation; George A. Romero’s 1968 masterpiece, Night of the Living Dead. Romero combined the religious tradition and lore of the voodoo zombie with the strong taboo against cannibalism to create a true and lasting icon of horror. Wishing to pay homage in choosing our name we combined this icon, our favorite harbinger of death, with our original mascot and second totem, the bee; dubbing our creations Zombee Candles.
