The movies and video games always got me worked up but I never really took things any further than daydreaming. When the BBC show Survivors came out, and then Left4Dead, and now the Walking Dead I started to take things a bit more serious, but I still kept it to myself. I quietly began to stockpile ammunition, and started working on ways to fortify the house if necessary. Unfortunately I was oblivious to things like food and water being just as important.
About a year ago I noticed that all of my wife's newer hobbies (canning, gardening) were really beginning to take over. More and more I saw her reading up on depression era cooking, how to survive a depression, etc. I waited it out for a while and then 6 months ago she approached me and declared that we needed to start doing some hard core prepping because bad things are coming. It seems she had already done research, and was well on her way to covering all of the areas that I had previously been neglecting.
The zombie apocalypse is now an everyday metaphor in our house. I suppose I should stop using it in front of our kids, when they go to school and start talking about how the zombies are coming we may get some phone calls....
