Zombies Get Scarier and Scarier



According to an Entertainment Weekly interview with Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus (he plays The Arrowman, or whatever his name is), the fourth season of the show will somehow feature scarier zombies than we’ve had before. He told EW, “They’ve introduced a way to make the zombies scary again. They’re terrifying. The new threat is just unreal.” Hm. So… the zombies evolve? Or someone straps knives to them or something? They all start voting for Ron Paul? Exactly how are they scarier?? Might it just, be, sigh that they figure out how to run? I mean isn’t that how zombies are modified these days?

The World War Z movie has fast zombies while the book didn’t. The original Dawn of the Dead had slow zombs but the remake had running ghouls. Maybe that familiar evolution happens within Walking Dead‘s own story. I mean they’d have to change the title to The Running Dead, of course, but that’s OK. I’m not a fan of the fast zombie in general — exceptions being the DotD remake and 28 Days Later — but if they must do it, so be it. It’d be better than having the zombies learn how to talk or use tools, like in Land of the Dead. I’d take running over either of those things. Anyway, start theorizing, Deadheads!
