I want to differentiate it from the stereotypical, sensationalized view that we see of the religion.

• Unless you're a psycho, there's no such thing as a vampire and there's no such thing as a werewolf. But there certainly are people who could be controlled by a drug like Scopolamine, to lose all will and do your bidding.

How can you prepare for a zombie apocalypse?
