1. Post-Apocalyptic Movies/TV Show Inspired Photos
Nuclear Post-Apocalypse Survivors

Imagining a treeless, totally trashed earth where the sun never penetrates the toxic polluting fog? This photo delivers on that theme in spades.

Thanks in part to The Walking Dead, zombies are one of the scariest and most popular of post-apocalyptic characters. Envato Elements has plenty of zombie photos for you to choose from.
Post-Apocalyptic Landscape
The Road did not have otherworldly characters for survivors to worry about, but it was plenty scary without them. This eerie photo of man and child next to an ionizing radiation sign in a dry and infertile captures all the strangeness and terror of The Road.
2. Post-Apocalyptic Movies/TV Show Inspired Motion Graphics

Nuclear Mushroom Destroying City at Sunset

Post-Apocalyptic City
This clip is a simple but chilling one. A man walks past the town hall supermarket in a small town. It sounds normal, but he is dressed in full protective gear with an oxygen canister on his back. The film is grainy and glitchy. Something bad has clearly happened here, and something even worse is bound to occur.
