Infographic Compares “The Walking Dead” and “Game of Thrones” Body Counts

Published

Both shows are relentlessly brutal. But which has racked up a higher body count?

AMC and HBO have been bringing the blood and guts with “The Walking Dead” and “Game of Thrones,” both shows often killing off major characters and just generally spilling a good deal of the red stuff onto the small screen. But how do they stack up when compared side-by-side? Which show has dispatched more major characters? One patient fan took it upon himself to find out.

And we benefit from his hard work.

Reddit user Nachorykaart is the madman (or woman?) behind this fun infographic, which compares main character deaths, side character deaths, background character deaths, and non-human character deaths between the first five seasons of “The Walking Dead” and “Game of Thrones” – the former is halfway through its seventh season while the latter has only aired six seasons, so it wouldn’t be fair to compare everything we’ve seen so far from each show.

In the total character deaths department, “The Walking Dead” is in the lead with 1,216, with “Game of Thrones” trailing behind with 704. Given how many zombies are killed every single week on AMC’s series, that was kind of a given. In all other categories, however, “Game of Thrones” is the winner, killing off more main, side, and background characters in seasons one through five.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
