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).
The monsters in the film and its sequels, such as Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, as well as its many inspired works, such as Return of the Living Dead and Zombi 2, are usually hungry for human flesh, although Return of the Living Dead introduced the popular concept of zombies eating brains.
