Do you know anyone who is hooked on the Walking Dead,

but watches it from behind the couch?

My sister watches it, but is too afraid to look most of the time!

2. Really? The gore is so campy--the "dead" so very "Hollywood", I can't get worked up.

I like the show because the premise of survival under such horrific circumstances is really compelling. But, the fear factor is just... NOT, at least for me.

And I, admittedly have a low threshold for heavy violence...

3. I can sometimes be that way

I want to enjoy the character interaction and the suspense, but don't want to look at rotting flesh. That said, most of the time I am not that way, most of the time I look at what a great or lousy job the make-up artists did. In general and especially for the closeups, the make-up is incredible.

4. That doesn't bother me too much. Cruel torture like hamstringing with a razor....

....is the stuff that gets me or severing the tendons.

What is weird is that I cannot watch graphic surgical procedures on TV (real ones that have been filmed), but it doesn't bother me when in person (probably because I realize I have a job to do at the time).

6. Crippling any animal is the cruelest torture

I cringe when I see it on TV or at the movies. I hated watching when she was breaking the legs of those chickens for the barn walkers.

It is a very good thing that you don't have a problem with surgical procedures where you work, that would be rough.

I had to have dental surgery and a person was brought in to help, well I looked up at her and she had her head craned back toward the wall as far as she could, it really didn't give me too much confidence

5. Me.

I really do not like the images, or the violence. I know it's part of the story, but I can't watch it. Grosses me out, and the zombie stuff goes way back to fear of "the living dead" movies I saw when I was too young and impressionable.

7. I loved the scene with pulling the walker out of the well (or at least half of him).

That was so funny.

8. My wife has nightmares every sunday about zombies

But she watches it with me, squeezing the life out of my arm.
