Cartoon-Inspired Zombie Photography

The Scooby-Doo vs. Zombie Apocalypse Series is Dark and Gritty

The Scooby-Doo vs. Zombie Apocalypse photo series gives the retro animated cartoon show a gritty twist. In this reality, the beloved and even dopey characters are badass killers facing off real zombies. The images are so impressive, it might inspire a movie house to pick up the Scooby-Doo franchise for another go at a more serious cinema experience.

Shot by Jeff Zoet Visuals, the Scooby-Doo vs. Zombie Apocalypse photo series can attribute some of its inspiration a few of the original cartoon episodes. The gang did face off undead creatures from time to time after all. Expect they didn't look as melodramatic as they do here. Dark and gritty, it really is strange to see Shaggy with a loaded gun, as Neatorama happens to point out.
