Zombies, as we know them today, have mortified movie viewers for the last forty six years. Modern zombies first appeared in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in 1968. These zombies were the slow moving, staggering ghouls that one has seen in countless films, but in 1985, Return of the Living Dead featured a new kind of zombie, the first fast moving and talking ghoul. Both Night of the Living dead 1968 and Return of the Living Dead 1985 feature the zombie as its villain, but Return of the living dead’s fast moving, talking zombies are a more modern take on the movie monster.

The day started like that of any other these last couple of weeks. Mysterious incidents kept popping up in the news, of small groups going mad and becoming savage. Life was like that in Lampeter. Very little going on in town, whilst the whole world around us lives with a constant stream of danger. Some people were getting worried, afraid it was some sort of virus going around, but that happens all the time. One small case of a disease and the world’s in an epidemic.

Some people were becoming wary, uneasy around other people, fears of catching this mystery virus afflicting the nation and forcing its way into people’s minds. The unfortunate thing was,

In The Walking Dead's post-apocalyptic world, there is no true form of government, no law enforcement, money has absolutely no value whatsoever, there are no emergency respondents, and there is no clearly defined social structure. This is a world where someone may be your neighbor on one occasion, and the next day they may have been turned into a walker, putting you into a predicament where you must make the decision as to whether or not you will be eaten by the “walking dead”, or you will slay them. People literally abandon their cars on the highways and run for shelter. While survivors hide away in basements and closets, trying to keep

Imagine, if you will, a brisk night wind coming fast across a lake carrying a pungent smell, something you can’t quite identify, but is nonetheless familiar enough to send a shiver up your spine. As it hits the trees, they creak out a somber call in the still night air. Or was that groan something more…human? You notice, for the first time, the absence of tires humming on pavement and you wonder if it’s that late, or maybe just a slow night.

You don’t notice at first, perhaps because the reality of what you’re hearing is

We were making our way to the doors slowly. While killing every walker in sight and range, we fought our way through the horrendous herd of walkers. Guts, flesh, and meat went flying out to every direction with every swing of the baseball bats that we had. I fancied a long pipe with scissor blades taped at the end of the pipe. The others decided to go old fashioned and just use a good old, trusty baseball bat. I’ve been dreaming of this day ever since I’ve started watching The Walking Dead. We’ve been killing walkers non stop. I was lucky enough to have found Thomas walking around the halls. Finally, the doors were barricaded, and the final battle of the second trial came close. I had to finish this. Deus and Onaga, the two deities gave me hints on where to go. I followed their wishes and went to the chorus room. Again, more danger was there.

Let me tell you a story about a man named Robert Kirkman. He saved television when he made the TV show “ The Walking Dead”.
