Random Horror

Is the Coronavirus the start of the zombie apocalypse? No. But, that doesn’t stop people from asking the question and whether asked in jest or in seriousness the answer is the same...  Now before I continue I would like to extend my thoughts to those suffering with or affected by Covid-19. The world has certainly become a smaller place because of this current crisis and I can only hope the powers that be find a swift and viable solution to the current outbreak.  No personal opinions on current affairs or conspiracies will be conveyed here. With all that said, the situation does make me mindful of Zombies, that’s just because of the way my brain works. So I am going to give a rundown of some random infection based movies.
