Who knows? Depends on the zombie. Before Night of the Living Dead, they were all supposedly raised from the dead by voodoo, which I imagine a lot of Haitians found pretty fucking offensive, but NOTLD was already in the '60s.

Also, I may be misremembering, but I’m pretty sure one of the Return of the Living Dead movies (not to be confused with Night of the Living Dead movies) featured zombies coming out of graves.
