“The Walking Dead” trailer premiered at Comic Con last month, and at the time I posted a bootleg of it along with some links to early rave reviews. But now that the non-buttcam version of the trailer is online, I can say with certainty: “Holy Mother of God, this show looks friggin’ incredible.” The pacing, the direction, the makeup, the characters, the ax to the head at the 4:02 mark in the trailer: it all looks absolutely terrific — and I’m not even a guy who’s predisposed to like zombie stories.
The 90-minute series premiere is on Halloween at 10 Eastern on AMC. I recommend leaving a bowl of candy outside your house with a sign that reads “CHILDREN WHO RING THE DOORBELL BETWEEN 10:00 AND 11:30 WILL BE SHOT.” And leave a dead kid outside to let ‘em know you mean business.

Finally an entire zombie series. I’ve been waiting for this forever. Can’t wait.
I was loving it until he was on some two-lane country back road and said he was on I-85 heading toward Atlanta. Was he driving a rocket car that uses unicorn bladders for airbags? I can’t stand blatant continuity errors that serve no purpose; they reveal a certain laziness in the production values.
My co-workers just asked me why I started dry humping my computer screen so I showed them this video, so everyone else did it. It was kind of like watching “The Happening” but people actually enjoyed the experience.
It’s good to see Robert Hawkins made it out of Jericho alive.
@PepeSilvia – I think it is because everyone who is gushing over this trailer has read the comics. Although the trailer does not show much, you must admit it looks nicer than any of the shit George A Romero has pumped out in the last few years.
LOL at the inbreds who don’t know anything about the history of this. F U C KTARDS
I am so pumped for this.
For those of you who don’t know, this show is based on the highly critically acclaimed “The Walking Dead” – a zombie comic that’s been going on since 2003. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walking_Dead
I know a lot of people think Zombies are overplayed, but the source material this show is based on is phenomenal. The series is less about zombies, and more about the characters – which makes it right up AMC’s alley. With Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and even Rubicon… I can’t wait to see what they do with this.
I mean, a zombie TV series? That’s fucking tits.
Robert Hawkins FTMFW!
Why did he feel the need to advance on the vehicle at the speed of a snail? He’s lucky the contents of that shell didn’t find his face. Of course his competition was shooting like a moron from the hip anyways.
I really do hate to be That Guy, but I didn’t see a single thing in that preview that hasn’t been in damn near every zombie flick ever. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Romero movies and 28 Days/Weeks Later and Shaun of the Dead, but why am I supposed to be excited about this? Because it’s on the tee vee?
My boner is so huge right now that an axe to the head wouldn’t even bring it down.

this is tits
Johnny, I would love to see some good old-fashioned zombie stinkpalm!
Apparently being in a coma gives you a dodgy accent.
They were filming this on location in Atlanta a few months ago, and made us wait before crossing the street. Of course, I didn’t know that was the case, and just saw the throng of zombies wandering the streets. I thought I was going to finally get the chance to kick zombie ass.
I went a bit tingly when The Walker Brothers kicked in. Hope I’m not having a stroke.
28 re-imaginings later, featuring the guy who plays the only real pimp on Hung.
Fucking yawn.
I just finished ‘World War Z’. Loved it. However, I am afraid zombies are becoming the new vampires.
Horse? Someone’s been reading their survival handbook.
Zombie Western, f**k yeah
That looks fucking awesome. And is that Michael Rooker in the trailer? Even better!
I hope the dead cat the birds were picking at isn’t douche cat. But seriously, this looks pretty bad ass. LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR! LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOOR….
