Concept of an Annuity. Annuities are used primarily to provide a steady stream of income to an individual typically upon retirement. In theory, an annuity is designed to protect against outliving an individualâs retirement income by providing lifetime income. One of the primary functions of an annuity is to liquidate an estate, or to pay benefits until the death of an annuitant.
The 1930s: In the early thirties, Hollywood was beginning to experiment with iconic-monster films, and it was only a matter of time before the first feature-length walking-dead film appeared: director Victor Halperin's cheaply made White Zombie (1932).
George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead is considered a progenitor of the fictional zombie of modern culture. A zombie (Haitian French: zombi, Haitian Creole: zonbi) is a fictional undead being created through the reanimation of a human corpse. Zombies are most commonly found in horror and fantasy genre works.
