No one knows if this is some kind of viral marketing thing, or just one guy's creativity, but it's pretty cool. He's documenting a zombie apocalypse in pictures, one per day. He's on day 14 so far, and it looks like it's coming to a close. And apparently there are hidden codes in each image that give you access to extra content as well. Haven't tracked down all of that yet. Here are all 14 days. The original posts are at www.reddit.com/user/Vidzilla/submitted/Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 Day 9 Day 10 Day 11 Day 12 Day 13 Day 14

And that's the end of the series. It wasn't a viral marketing plan after all. Here are some comments from the creator as he posted the final image. Hello, I'm Vidzilla, creator of the "Day XX" series on reddit /zombies (zeddit).
I want to thank you all for the comments and messages of encouragement these past two weeks. It has made each and every day a total joy!
I wish to take a moment and make clear that the series was NOT any form of viral marketing. I have nothing to sell, and simply wished to create the entries for entertainment. Apologies for keeping my silence, but I felt it would add to the mystery of the work.
It may come as a surprise, but ZERO planning went into the series. At a summer festival, one of my friends remarked how it would be dangerous if a zombie got loose in the crowd. I joked that a passerby would be warning of "some homeless guy biting people". On New Year's Eve, I texted the friend the same message from Day 1, and he had a good laugh. On a whim, I decided to recreate the text and post it to reddit.
The post was surprisingly popular. At the end of the day, user hugemuffin remarked "Would be good to see day 2 tommorrow.", and so on yet another whim I decided to accept the challenge. By Day 3, I understood I couldn't continue daily posts with such detail, and decided to foreshadow an ending. Otherwise, no planning went into the posts. I'm a newshound, and every morning I simply browse the headlines over breakfast. These past two weeks, I would take them as inspiration, and splash together a different narrative.
Tomorrow I'll be submitting a final imgur album with a "director's cut" of all the entries. It will include some corrections due to the excellent feedback. I'll also crosspost to r/pics, just to share with reddit proper. The post will be entitled "Resolution", the official title of the series.

If you want to add a little something to this then just scroll through the first post quickly. Give its all a sort of nightmarish quality
