A New Mexico man who had been watching The Walking Dead told police that he beat his friend to death with an electric guitar and a microwave because the victim was turning into a zombie, according to reports in local media.

Moses Marquez, a sergeant in Grants, a small city about 80 miles west of Albuquerque, told local TV station KOB that 23-year-old Damon Perry of nearby Prewitt confessed to police that he had been binge-viewing The Walking Dead on Netflix and noticed that his pal Christopher Paquin, also 23, was beginning "to change into a zombie."

According to KOB, Grants police responded to an apartment building on Thursday after 911 callers said a man – later identified as Perry – was running around the complex threatening people with a knife.

When officers arrived, the station reported, two maintenance workers were holding Perry down. Meanwhile, an officer found Paquin's badly beaten body inside a nearby apartment.

6. Did the guy turn into a zombie? No? Where's the thanks?

My friends talk about that show as if it were real. Hell, they even mourn the characters who die as though they were real.
