Never Once Is the Word “Zombie” Used
The word “zombie” is not allowed to be written into any scripts for The Walking Dead in an effort to make the show more believable to modern audiences. The words “herds,” “walkers,” “biters,” and “undead” are substituted for these concepts. The authors state their intention to have readers believe that the survivors were unprepared for the post-apocalyptic world. We can only assume that the world these characters inhabit has never seen the release of the film Night of the Living Dead. The original zombie film by George Romero is a must-see for any diehard fan of The Walking Dead.
