Reaction to Walking Dead and Vampire Gentleman Article
My reaction to the article and the reading was one I
didn’t quite expect. I actually found myself opening up to the possiablity of
acceptin zombies as a ligiament form of horror. Never before had I thought
this. I had always pushed zombies aside thinking them to be nothing more than
silly, groaning, corpses. I have never really delved into what they could
actually represent, what there origins were, or why there were so popular. It
was also cool to read how much vampires have changed from being the center of
the horror gene to shifting out and into an entirelly different genre in
general.
I had always been a fan of vampires, though found
myself less interested as the fanbase was split between making them complete
hidious monsters and sexy humane beasts. I had been a fan of the past vampires
that were a bit of both. Seductive enough you overlooked the beast that was
within andwaiting for you to drop your guard so they could strike. Zombies just
didn’t have that appeal for me. Having been introduced to some of their
background and having read an actually decent depiction of zombies in The
Walking Dead I actually found myself impressed and wanting to read more.
