During our chat with The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus, who plays the kick-ass zombie-apocalypse survivor on AMC’s hit show, we started wondering: What are the most inventive ways the undead have been killed throughout movie history? Hint: They involve everything from vinyl LPs to a defibrillator.
