The Walking Dead debuted within a Golden Age of zombie-themed gaming, a trend kick started, in part, by the success of 2008’s Call Of Duty: World At War and it’s excellent ‘Zombie Mode’. There’s a scene in it in which a zombie fights a shark, underwater – if you were on the fence about whether to rent.

1979’s Zombi 2, a film intended to be a sequel of sorts to Romero’s Dawn Of The Dead and released a year prior in Italy as Zombi – is perhaps the greatest movie in the genre I’ve ever seen. Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead series, graduating in due course to the films of Lucio Fulci. I’d been reading Robert Kirkman’s comic of the same name since its launch issue in 2003, while as a horror movie lifer, I’d grown up in awe of George A.

When the series debuted in 2010, I was already struggling to kick a serious habit.
To paraphrase The Godfathers’ Michael Corleone, “just when I think I’m out… their maggoty fingers pull me back in”. Rarely has episodic TV fluctuated between brilliant and banal so frequently, and there have been times during the show’s run where I’ve walked away with every intention never to return. Truth be told, my relationship with AMC’s long running episodic apocodrama is a complicated, even unhealthy one. There was a moment earlier last week – sat on my sofa, tuning into the recommencement of Season 10 of The Walking Dead – where I remembered, with some embarrassment – just how out of control my obsession with zombies threatened to get for a while.
