Hey guys I was just letting y'all know that the second season of The Walking Day starts tomorrow. I think it's a great show and if you haven't seen the first season it's only six episodes long and available on Netflix. Also, since its Halloween what are some of your favorite zombie movies or books? While they are not books I really enjoy the Left 4 Dead series and if you are into video games I highly recommend them. Hope y'all have a good Saturday and Roll Tide.
I can't really think of a zombie book I enjoyed but I can tell you one I did not enjoy: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I love the idea of the book but the authorship was not up to par for such a great idea. The Bennet sisters killed zombies too easily. I needed one of them to lose a limb or something. If the author had just spent more time on it and made everything seem more real I would have loved it.
ReplyDeleteAs for zombie movies: I LOVED Zombieland. I thought it was hilarious and I was able to watch it like a normal person (I usually hide behind my fingers, or -this better not leave the blog- in the case of I am Legend I prayed the whole time. Pathetic I know.)
The first episode of the new season of Walking Dead was great. It's definitely managing to live up to the quality of the comics, even though it's deviating a lot from the original plot. As far as books, I really enjoyed Boneshaker, which we'll be reading later this semester (steampunk and zombies, it's hard to get cooler than that), and Zombieland is also fantastic, one of those rare horror-comedies that can parody a genre without sacrificing good plot and characters.
ReplyDeleteI have to go with the classic Dawn of the Dead and the spin-off Sean of the Dead. Two of my favorite zombie movies. My dad really enjoys Walking Dead. I'll have to watch it since it's been recommended several times now. I've also watched my brother play Left 4 Dead. It's pretty intense.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with what has been posted so far Zombieland is a great movie as is Shaun of the Dead. I always really like the original George A Romero films. Also I agree with Sean that the first episode was great, and I really want to start reading the comics but I just haven't got around to it.
ReplyDeleteI watched all the first season of The Walking Dead after hearing you guys talk about it. I freaking love the show! Definitely gonna watch this new season! Also, Zombieland is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteOn a slightly unrelated note, the show Deadliest Warrior pitted a vampire against a zombie. Yeah, pretty intense. You can watch the whole episode on spiketv.com.
I actually watch that episode, and I agree it was pretty intense. Even though I disagree with the outcome, zombies all the way, it was still good.
