How “The Walking Dead” Changed My Life

By

I can’t even begin to explain how baffling the popularity of the hit AMC series, “The Walking Dead” has become.  As an avid viewer and enormous fan of the show, I struggle to find words to explain why the show has gained so much popularity.

Aside from the fact that the show is so unbelievably gory that it is impossible to enjoy popcorn and my favorite soda while I watch, there are dozens of other reasons the show is almost unwatchable, yet anyone who I suggest the show to will watch it with the same intensity as my wife and I.

Hopefully, by me pointing out all of the reasons you shouldn’t watch the show, I will gain some insight of exactly why I can’t stop watching it.  Whatever the conclusion is, I’m sure I’ll keep watching in the end.  [Read more…]

When Zombies Attack!

By

Zombies are appearing in major cities around the world.

Yesterday, AMC and Fox International kicked off a massive viral stunt in support of the upcoming series The Walking Dead. A wave of zombies first popped up at dawn in Taipei and Hong Kong. From there, the zombie “outbreaks” spread westward, simulating the way a real zombie infection might spread, and will continue to do so until the show’s L.A. premiere.

The hundreds of zombies used during these outbreaks are being birthed using authentic prosthetic makeup designed by The Walking Dead‘s makeup artist, Greg Nicotero. In addition to the two cities mentioned above, the outbreaks have already hit Rome, Mexico City, Santiago, Istanbul, Athens, Johannesburg, Munich, London (pictured above), and Madrid.

A total of 26 cities are planned in all, and still to come are Sofia (Bulgaria), Estonia (Tallinn), Belgrade (Serbia), Lisbon, Sao Paolo, Buenos Aires, Caracas (Venezuela), Bogota, Guatemala City, and in the United States, zombies will visit New York City, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and finally Los Angeles.

The Walking Dead premieres this Sunday on AMC.
