Zombies for Your Viewing Pleasure

Zombies and the zombie apocalypse have been riding a wave of popularity for quite some time now.  There have been many movies about zombies - 28 Days Later, Warm Bodies, Shawn of the Dead, Diary of the Dead - ranging from the serious to the comedic.  Even if you do not watch it there is no doubt that The Walking Dead is a certified hit for AMC.  It is so popular that The Talking Dead airs after the episodes and a spin off show is in the works.  This has also led to SyFy showing Z Nation and recently picking it up for a second season.  I usually check for web series in genres that I enjoy but I had not previously checked for zombie apocalypse type web series until a short time earlier tonight.  I have not watched any of these series but if you are curious then you might want to check out some of the shows listed below.

Dead Road: 8 completed episodes out of planned 11 are available for viewing.

Vitamin Z: Season 1 - 8 completed episodes.

The Zombie Apocalypse: 2 episodes; scroll down a little bit to see the episodes available.

The Last Stand: 5 episodes.

End of World: Just a trailer so far...

Chronicles of the Dead: A large collection of episodes, teasers, and behind the scenes videos.

I have not watched a single episode of any of these shows yet.  I just linked to them as I ran across them and will view them later.  Has anybody reading this watched these?  I am sure there are even more zombie apocalypse web series out there.  Do you have any recommendations?

    

Z is for Zombie

**********Just for the sake of clarity - the theme for my A to Z posts is gaming with my friends in the 1980's.********

Z is for Zombie
Zombies are, of course, a well known and often used monster during encounters in D&D and other fantasy games.  Whenever Zombies are mentioned now I can not help but think of the one time that several of us played D&D with an older brother of one of the group members. 

The game session was a last minute pick up game because we could not get everyone together to play.  We sat down and started listening to his introduction to the session that included army consisting of "legions of undead" controlled by a necromancer.  I assumed that we would be encountering tons of skeletons, zombies, and other undead by the end of the session.  We got in a complete session and we discovered just how many zombies are in a legion.  I know the anticipation is killing everyone at this point! How many were there?

8...really?!?!?!?!

We made wise cracks about that for years. :-)
