TV: The Walking Dead

AMC has a fantastic new show that premiered on Halloween this year called The Walking Dead, based off a comic book series by the same name. The first night the show had 8 million viewers and is on for another season. Whooo! Thank God, because this show, after only seeing 3 episodes, is amazing! Not only is it suspenseful and intense (I almost couldn't take it at some points), it's realistic and graphic, the zombies look spectacular, and the plot line is engaging.

Not only that, the main character, Rick, played by Andrew Lincoln, is really fuckin sexy. He wakes up in a hospital after being shot and in a coma for who knows how long. The hospital had been overrun, and Rick starts finding dead people everywhere, an empty city, and finds out that he's up against Walkers, otherwise known as zombies.


I was also in Hot Topic the other day and spotted some cool Walking Dead shirts I was really excited for, I'll have to get mine soon perhaps...So I highly recommend it, since we're also going through a zombie craze currently, and hope you enjoy it. :)

TV: Ghost Adventures

To kick off this fabulous month of October (which by the way if you didn't realize or know, has 5 Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and won't happen for another 823 years, crazy I know) one of my best friends introduced me to what is now one of my favorite shows. Unlike Ghost Hunters, the cast of Ghost Adventures actually believe in the paranormal, and give you results then and there. Believer or not, the show is still intense, at points humorous (well, duh, it's 3 guys provoking ghosts, shit's bound to happen...) and of course entertaining. The cast consists of Zak, Nick, and Aaron, and the first part of the show is them interviewing eyewitnesses and historians of the place they are at. I like that they give you a detailed background and history of the places they go to. Also they don't pick boring places really, they go for the ones with the reputations of being very haunted with lots of activity. After they interview everyone, they mark the spots they are going to visit, then have themselves locked in the building from dusk til dawn (who does that? Guys that are crazy, that's who, and that's a reason why this show is awesome). The first episode I saw was when they went to Rolling Hills Asylum in New York, and after that I was hooked. They go to places most others don't, such as Poveglia Island in Italy (another intense episode), and Waverly Hills, etc. You can find this show on the Travel Channel. Check them out here.
