It’s becoming clear that the Zombies Apocalypse scene has begun to… ahem, rise out of it’s cult roots and challenge vampires as the monster-du-jour of pop culture. In the recent years, the zombie hordes have broken out of the confines of B-movies and video games and into successful comics, tv shows, books, and even classic literature<\/a>. Beyond that, there’s a huge movement in more local, community-based events and projects like zombie walks<\/a> or ZED.TO<\/a>, which add a whole new level of participation outside of media consumption, since people always like to watch these movies and play many kind of video games, as shooting games, with the use of services as OW Boosting<\/span><\/a> online.<\/p>\n

…And if you really want to live out your dreams (nightmares?) as a Z-day survivor,\u00a0 you can head to England where, for under $200, you can have your own Dawn of the Dead<\/em> experience.<\/p>\n
