Walking Dead

Ambulatory deceased population

Walking Dead refers to the AMC television series (2010–2022) about survivors navigating a zombie apocalypse, or the comic book series it adapted.

The phrase itself—lowercase—describes people who are doomed or effectively lifeless while still technically alive: After the diagnosis, he felt like one of the walking dead.

The show popularized "walker" as a term for zombies.
