zombies

I have never been interested in watching the walking dead on tv because I'm not into movies or shows about zombies. However when i read the comic i found that it was a little more interesting then i thought it was going to be. I don't mind graphic or gross things so that didn't bother me and the comic style was something new that I'm not used to reading or seeing so that made it more interesting to me. Reading the comic also made me think about watching the actual show to see what happens next.

When i read the article I wasn't too interested because I'm not really into vampries and Zombies but i did find it a little interesting when the author was talking about how the ideas of vampires and zombies have changed over the years. For example one of the ways that vampires have been changed from Dracula who killed and threatened the values of the time and the society itself, to vampries who respect the humans culture and will drink animal blood instead of killing humans and long for love and a companion and even look for a cure for the way they are. For the zombies however the transformation was the opposite. I think its strange that in the haitian culture zombies didn't eat humans but were used as slaves, but now movies and books have transformed them into decaying, diseased creatures in-between being alive and dead who wreak society, and who's only thought is to eat human flesh. I also like how in the article they talk about how different vampires and zombies and how that makes people have different reactions to them.
