As years went on I found myself going deeper and deeper into this world of the undead. Why do they scare me? The more I understand this creature, the more I understand myself. I have realized now that it is because of this fear that I am so interested. At the time I had no idea why I kept watching these movies that were so horrifying to me zombies scared me more than any other creature out there. My obsession first started with movies I watched every zombie movie I could get my hands on and there was never enough. From that day on I was obsessed with zombies. My brother may not have known it at the time (even though I like to think he did), but he had created his very own monster. As he hit ‘play’ on the remote for another time, I inched up even further to the television, allowing myself to be closer to the terror that I knew awaited me. I remember his reaction for a second he looked puzzled and then the biggest grin spread across his face. When the movie ended, my brother got up to retrieve the movie, but before he could, I turned to him and asked if we could watch it again. My brother put the disk in the player and the next ninety minutes were some of the most exciting, yet horrifying minutes of my life. I remember sitting on the floor right up front, so close I could not even take in the whole television at once. At the age of nine years old I saw my first zombie movie 1, and it is one of the most vivid memories I have from my childhood.
