Hello I am Louie woodhouse and this is my blog in which i discuss the IP of the words, Voodoo and Plague. I will be discussing how the words have been linked to past media, leading into modern day and then leading into how the IP will affect the future.
I chose voodoo because voodoo has links in media to zombies which has played on the horror of people as the idea of the animated dead rise up to consume people which has been used in many comics like walking dead, many many films like "day of the dead" (released 1985 and remake 2008"), "dawn of the dead" (released 2004) and "white zombie." (Released 1932) it has also been played in many games like the resident evil series.

I chose Plague because in media illness has commonly used plots like the book "I am legend" (Richard Matheson 1954). In films there are films like "The last man on earth" (released 8 March 1964) and the recent film "Daybreakers" (8 January 2010). Through plague there is also medicine which is a main theme of a lot of popular TV programs like house M.D and grey’s anatomy.
