A Look At Shiva The Walking Dead’s Tiger And How She Was Created

‘The Walking Dead’ has already introduced several new characters this season and we are only on episode two. Two new characters stand out, King Ezekiel and his pet tiger Shiva. Carol was dumb-founded upon meeting King Ezekiel (Khary Payton) and Shiva at the beginning of the episode and quickly turned to her “sweet housewife” act. Ezekiel told Carol in one scene in episode two, titled ‘The Well’, how he came to be the master of a tiger in the apocalypse. Ezekiel stated that before the apocalypse began he was a zoo keeper. One day Shiva fell into the ravine and badly injured her leg. Ezekiel ran into her enclosure and bandaged her wound. The two had a special relationship after that. When the apocalypse began she was one of the few animals left, so he took her. Fans of the comic series have known since comic #108 that the two would be joining the series, but the big question has

The Story Of Ronald O’Bryan The Real Candyman

Have you ever wondered why parents began checking their children’s candy after Trick-R-Treating? It all because of one man, known now as “The Candyman”. Ronald O’Bryan of Pasadena, a father of two, laced candy with cyanide and gave it out to five trick-r-treaters, including his own 5-year-old daughter and his 8-year-old son in 1974. You see, the twisted optician was deep in debt and had taken out a life insurance policy on his children worth $40,000. In his mind it would have been suspicious if only his children had fallen ill so he handed out the poisoned candy to other kids.
