Max Brooks is a name you might know if you like Zombie movies and shows. He's not with The Walking Dead, but he did burst onto the literary scene with the New York Times bestsellers World War Z (which became a movie featuring Brad Pitt) and The Zombie Survival Guide.

Max joined us recently to talk about his new project, a violently original horror series of comic books and a new sub-genre for fiction: zombies vs. vampires with The Extinction Parade.

Max told us about growing up in Hollywood as the son of Mel Brooks, how long he's been interested in Zombie films and this new genre.
