Cool Horror Videos: Pranksters broadcast zombie apocalypse alert

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Picture this: you’re sitting down watching your favorite white trash talk show (in this case, “The Steve Wilkos Show”) and all of a sudden, you see a message from the Emergency Alert System alerting you to the fact that the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living. “It’s finally happening!” you might scream as you run for your shotgun.

For the unwitting folks in Great Falls, Montana, this nightmare scenario played out for real when hackers played a recording announcing that very thing on KRTV. No word on what kind of reaction it elicited, but the TV station was naturally forced to issue a statement refuting the news that a zombie apocalypse was happening in the city. How embarrassing.
