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.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
