What do you get when you combine the opening sequence of AMC's zombie hit "The Walking Dead" with the uber-cheery music and credits of '80s sitcom staple "Growing Pains"?

A toe-tapping montage that warms the heart -- even as it chills the spine.

Some internet smart-aleck has created a video mash-up utilizing "Walking Dead"'s undead-killin' opening with the theme song and credits graphics from the Alan Thicke series, demonstrating the hilarity that ensues when fluffy 80s pop culture and contemporary grittiness collide. Enjoy -- and just try not to sing along.
