Me as a Walker
No human is safe: not children, not women and certainly not men. Everyone has the same “opportunity” to be gutted and eaten alive to come back as a walker, and for some bizarre reason, I love it! The season premiere of “Walking Dead” is tomorrow, Sunday, October 13 at 9:00 pm, and my anticipation, along with my husband’s, has been building. What I love about this show is not just the terror of feeling like I am at a haunted house but the sociological aspects too which challenge each character’s humanity and will to live. This show has been a springboard for deep “what would you do” discussions for me, and I often wonder if I would survive if I was a part of this dystopian society. How do I know I am obsessed with this show? Here’s a few reasons:
- I have the “The Walking Dead” game board. Sadly, my husband turned me into a walker withing about ten minutes.
- My husband has the “The Walking Dead” video game which I became a bit obsessed with playing. With those of you familiar with the game, I still struggle to get out of the police car and fight off the very first walker of the video game.
- I have the “The Walking Dead” compendium which collects the separate comic books into one volume and read it as a bedtime story from time to time.
- I planned on being a zombie with my husband for the “Run for Your Lives”, but the only parts available are as humans participating in the obstacle course. I am not too sure if I could handle people who are playing the roles of zombies chasing me for a 5K obstacle course through a smoke house, maze, and blood blood (of course not real blood, but still…eww). Maybe next year.
- Also, I purchased my husband a Walking Dead t-shirt for our second anniversary since the second one is cotton.
The script is well-written, the costuming is so believable and realistic. I’ve come to know and root for certain characters and despise others. I am ready for season four of “The Walking Dead.” Are you a walker….I mean watcher? 😉
All the best,
