This is pretty scary, and I'm not referring to the show. The fact that someone can blur the line between fiction and reality is really frightening.

The Walking Dead is a fictional show, we all know that. It's gory, but it's fun to watch and to talk about. It's scary to think there are people who watch the show that might see non fiction.

Case in point, a man in New Mexico fatally beat his friend with his hands, feet, electric guitar and microwave. The reason? The man thought is friend was turning into a zombie.

The two were drinking, and the man claims his friend started to turn and tried to bite him. Police were called to the scene when neighbors noticed the man wielding a knife.

The man says binge watching The Walking Dead on Netflix gave him the idea his friend was turning into a zombie.

The suspect is being held on a murder charge.
