After Binge Watching 'Walking Dead,' N.M. Man Kills Friend Over Zombie Fears

by TIM STELLOH

After binge watching a popular show about zombies, a New Mexico man believed his friend was turning into one — so he brutally beat him to death last week, police said.


Damon Perry is accused of beating a friend to death after watching The Walking Dead. Grants Police
Prior to the alleged crime last Thursday, Damon Perry, 23, watched the Netflix show "The Walking Dead" and drank "multiple" 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor with a friend at a relative's apartment, Grants Police spokesman Moses Marquez told NBC News.

Then, Perry told police, the victim, Christopher Paquin, 23, tried "to bite him," according to a statement from cops.

Perry "reacted by brutally beating" Paquin with his hands and feet, the release said, and also used an electric guitar, kitchen knives and a microwave to kill the victim.
