28 Days Later introduced the world to Cillian Murphy, who would later don the Scarecrow mask in Batman Begins and a razor-lined newsboy cap in Peaky Blinders.

It just so happened to be one of the best horror films of the 2000s. 2004 saw the release of Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake and Edgar Wright's "zom-com" Shaun of the Dead, and those were just the first of many new mainstream zombie movies that followed on the heels of 28 Days Later. Whatever the case, it would be another seven years before The Walking Dead made it to the small screen and that might never have happened had 28 Days Later not first paved the way for the zombie resurgence on celluloid. Maybe zombies were just in the ether back in 2003. So we were working on our second issue by the time I saw it." That first issue came out in October of 2003 and 28 Days Later was released in the States in June of 2003. I saw 28 Days Later shortly before the first issue of Walking Dead was released.
