Zombie Readings

After reading part one and part two of The Walking Dead I realized that I actually liked reading it, also I wanted to keep on reading more of it.  I never really jumped on the bandwagon when The Walking Dead came out.  The main reason why I did not want to watch it was because I thought that it would scare me and that I would be grossed out by all the death that was in it.  After reading the comic book version of it I found it very interesting and not as graphic was I thought it would be.  This reading defiantly opened up my eyes to the whole zombie genre and I am looking forward to reading more about this genre.  In the article “Vampire Gentleman and Zombie Beasts”, I agree with what they are saying about how vampires are seen as “good-looking and sophisticated” and how they are seen in movies as immortal wanted love and a family.  Also in this article I think it is kind of weird how vampires and zombies are treated in movies.  In the movie Twilight, the main vampires are treated like normal people and actually save a few humans from other bad vampires.  While zombies in the movies are treated as monsters, unhuman and that they all have diseases.  I am glad that zombies are the theme for our class so I can open my mind to other great things.
