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. This was Olivia’s class… Why is it that everytime I go do a trial for these deities, I always end up in Olivia’s room. Chapter 9 : FROM START TO FINISH

Post-Apocalyptic settings used in fictional works have become increasingly popular over the years. The entire bases around post-apocalyptic is how the world as we know it is great changes, therefore altering the lifestyle of all things living. Whether the reasoning be weather, or an epidemic there already build society is arubtlly changes forcing major alterations in how life continues on. The ethical code of morals in which we live by is replaced by the instinct to survive when adapting to life in an altered world. Using examples from Cormac McCarthy’d The Road, George R. Stewarts, and the AMC series The Walking Dead, this paper will demonstrate the transitions human society makes as survival takes precedent in a post-apocalyptic world and how rebuilding civilizations while establishing hierarchy occurs.

The hit TV series, The Walking Dead is about a small group of people trying to survive the apocalypse. Along with trying to survive the undead, the main characters also encounter many conflicts with other survivors.

The director throws in so many plot twists, it keeps me wanting to watch more. This show is so interesting, it has been my favorite TV show since it came out in 2010.

The horror genre has been captivating and enthralling the masses for centuries, but more recently in the twentieth century these morbid tales have moved from the old media of oral stories and literature to the new medium of horror pictures. Horror pictures still are not the end of the evolution of the horror genre, as this medium itself has experienced evolutions to satisfy an increasingly desensitized audience. To exemplify this evolution of horror pictures we will be taking a look at an occult classic from 1968 Night of the living dead and a new thriller The Walking Dead. Both horror pictures portray a zombie apocalypse and there are similarities and differences in the main characters, the zombies, and the worlds of the two pictures.

Not only is it far and away television’s most popular show among the highly coveted 18-to-34-year-old demographic, it has almost single-handedly refuted every one of the ideas laid out in my opening paragraph. Where most serialized dramas create a world and, over time, spread out into it, adding characters, nuance, and layers, The Walking Dead has a guillotine where the story engine should be.

Instead, it sets up base camp in the crushing moment when most dystopic movies end, sinking into the heartbreak, violence, and loss. “Everything is fucked,” isn’t a traditional TV starting place, but, then again, The Walking Dead isn’t a traditional series. Its remarkable proficiency in areas often considered ancillary — sound design, visual effects, editing, and casting — has helped sustain it, even when the plot veers decidedly into a sort of sadistic nihilism. And, in a perverse way, the bleak consistency of The Walking Dead — no matter what else is going on, someone’s getting bitten every week — is precisely what saves it as a TV show. At this point, the constant, gruesome suffering has become as dependable as a laugh

With countless zombie movies and shows being released in the recent past, it is hard to believe that at one point zombie films would go straight-to-video, as they were on the fringes cinematic normality (Canavan 431). Our contemporary society is now completely obsessed with zombie and apocalyptic films in general.
