Ten years ago, no one would have guessed that zombies would be such a big part of pop culture. It's to the point now where newspapers and TV networks are talking about a "zombie apocalypse" as if it will actually happen this year. While some news outlets are simply using the phrase for ratings, others are using it as a way to draw attention to serious matters.
In Bangor, Maine first responders and emergency agencies got together for a training session, using a zombie outbreak as a way to keep everyone interested and train for any potential epidemic. We think this is a good way to keep everyone entertained, while still being able to prepare for the worst. As horror fans, we always have a little smile when we see something like this. It's amazing to see how far zombies have come since they first hit the screen.
