- Mrs Laderman is Claudia’s neighbour/friend BUT has recently turned into a walker.
- Claudia is aware of the danger of Mrs Laderman, but cannot bring herself to kill her because of everything she has done for her. Claudia watches and keeps an eye on Mrs Laderman from her apartment.
- Mrs Laderman will be a zombie - need to consider special effects (cuts/scars/blood/bruises), ripped clothes, messy hair, etc.
- Mrs Laderman may not necessarily change the demographics of the show because there are already many zombies in their 40s, but specifically females may want to see what happens to Claudia & Mrs Laderman’s relationship, e.g. does she have to kill her?
Key word = ‘Taste’
- Taste refers to the sensation of flavour perceived in the mouth and throat on contact with a substance.
- I have chosen taste because this is Mrs Laderman’s one and only desire now that she is a zombie - she wants to eat the living humans.
- This actually inspired me to investigate why zombies are always portrayed to eat the living… There is no official explanation, but some suggest the undead feel the need to feed on the brains of the living because it somehow made them feel better by easing their pain. Others say zombies eat brains and guts because of the high levels of serotonin they contain, OR to replenish their blood lost - Zombies need to eat fresh humans at an constant rate so they do not dry up and rot?
- I now need to research zombies in detail and what special effects are the most effective, or even what techniques are used specifically in The Walking Dead
