Tales of the Living Dead is a thrilling series produced by Electric Sky Productions that explores tales of the undead. The show serves as a modern interpretation of classic horror tropes, intended to bring the concept of zombies and the undead to a contemporary audience. The show uses a combination of live-action footage and CGI animation to depict the undead and the world they inhabit.

Each episode features a different story with a unique set of characters, all of whom face various challenges as they contend with the living dead in a world that has been ravaged by a global outbreak. The show masterfully balances horror and suspense with moments of action, humor, and drama. Each episode has its own unique tone, ranging from dark and moody to quirky and lighthearted.

One episode, for example, follows a group of survivors as they navigate the congested streets of a major city overrun by the undead. As they travel through the city, they encounter a variety of other survivors, each with their own unique backstory, motivation, and personality. Along the way, they are forced to navigate a series of challenges, from hordes of zombies to rival survivor groups.

In another episode, we are introduced to a lone survivor who has managed to survive the outbreak by holing up in an abandoned building. When he hears the sound of another survivor banging on the door, he must decide whether to risk letting them in or remaining alone. As he grapples with this decision, he is plagued by flashbacks of his former life and the events that led up to the outbreak.

The show is visually stunning, with excellent production value that brings the world of the undead to life. The use of CGI animation to depict the zombies is particularly effective, allowing the show's creators to create unique and terrifying undead creatures that are both realistic and otherworldly. The show's use of practical effects, such as props, makeup, and sets, also adds to the experience, creating a palpable sense of dread and realism.

The characters in Tales of the Living Dead are another highlight of the show. Each character is fully realized and distinct, with their own abilities, flaws, and motivations. The show does an excellent job of balancing individual character arcs with larger plot developments, and each episode explores both the physical and emotional struggles of those facing the undead.

The show also explores larger themes related to the human condition, such as isolation, desperation, and the will to survive. Each episode examines these themes through different characters and situations, adding depth and complexity to the show's overall narrative. Ultimately, Tales of the Living Dead is a must-watch for fans of horror and the undead. With its stunning visuals, compelling characters, and well-crafted storytelling, the show is a masterpiece of modern horror that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Tales of the Living Dead is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (26 episodes). The series first aired on December 31, 2010.
