The zombie and vampire phenomenon has taken over not only TV, but also in movies such as Twilight<\/i> and Dawn of the Dead<\/i> being huge hits. There’s always the case of devoted followers arguing over which show is better, which show is more realistic or has a better chance of happening. [EXPAND Read More]Both are character driven shows with huge followers for watchers of their favorite character and how they develop and react to different situations. Whether your favorite character is Alcide from True Blood or Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead, you could argue which one is “cooler” for days.
