The DAT Top Three – Alpha Females on The Walking Dead

The DAT Top Three – Alpha Females on The Walking Dead

Fight the dead. Fear the living. Put the damn seat down. I’m pretty sure that’s the tagline for The Walking Dead. Having a group of only men isn’t enough to survive the zombie apocalypse, well, for obvious reasons. But in addition to their child-bearing chops, these female warriors also must be hardened, tough and ready to fight. And when I say the DAT Top three alpha females of The Walking Dead are full of bad-assery, I’m not just making up words. I am, but you know what I mean. The women can’t cower and cry when the walkers arrive. They have to fight and sometimes the living are more of a threat than the dead. If I had to face the end with a femme fatale next to me, you can be sure it’d be one of these alpha females of The Walking Dead.

The DAT Top Three – Alpha Males on The Walking Dead

The DAT Top Three – Alpha Males on The Walking Dead

Fight the dead. Fear the living. When you find yourself surrounded by The Walking Dead, what will you do to survive? Who will you turn to for protection against the zombie walkers? If television has taught us anything about the zombie apocalypse it’s that you’ll die without a strong alpha male in your group. Whether your leader wears an evil eye patch or a mountain man beard, an alpha male must lead the quest for survival. The Walking Dead is chocked full of kick-ass characters including several alpha females we’ll talk about at another time. In this installment of the DAT Top Three, we’re going to recognize those alpha males on the show who keep us coming back for more.

The DAT Top Three – Modern Horror TV Shows

The DAT Top Three – Modern Horror TV Shows

TV has come a long way, baby. Production value and writing continues to improve and with independent content producers getting into the game, some new television shows look as good as motion pictures. And yet, horror remains tucked away in the dark corners and out of the mainstream. Our best kept secrets hidden. However, some shows have crossed over into popular culture and those chosen few are the ones we’re celebrating here on the DAT Top Three Modern Horror TV Shows.

The DAT Top Three – Coolest Undead Creatures

The DAT Top Three – Coolest Undead Creatures

As they say, live death to the fullest. Some of the creatures who return from the grave are way cooler than others. Saints and angels might be the guardians of Heaven, but we’ve become fascinated with the  undead from the wrong side of the tracks. Whether you believe they’re commanded by the devil or are simply souls doomed to wander the Earth for eternity, these creatures are the coolest undead.
