The forum had a conversation about zombies a few weeks ago (months?). I was browsing my usual sites, and tripped upon some interesting news. Turns out that AMC (the station that has brought us Mad Men and Breaking Bad) got the rights to the comic book "The Walking Dead," which is easily my favorite zombie story. Should be good because AMC has been spot on as of late with their projects, and this story is more then just another Romero. With this being made, and finally Brooks' World War Z, the near future should provide some worthwhile zombie flicks/shows.

Is it gonna be a movie or TV series? Either would be awesome!

I'm assuming that it'll be a TV series because the writers are still adding to The Walking Dead! So, imagine that, an actual zombie TV show on a legitimate channel, possibly during the prime time? The horror genre will finally get its bite back since the vampires sold out.

So. will I be the only one doing headshots on the tv with a dart gun? :?

I am so going to put on a zombie movie right now while cleaning the guns.

 

the total scary part.... I am out of 45gap and down to 1 box of 9mm.

 

 

 

But thanks to a nice contributor here... at least the vepr will be ready to go just in case.... and do have a few hundred rounds for the mosins and a few thousand rounds of 22. =)

 

worst case... bayonet on. =P

I just saw Arlen Specter on the news, I had my own zombie show.

The best part about the Mosin Bayo's.... i'll never be in need of a super long screwdriver again.

put it on the gun and use it as a torque wrench. =)

 

i did use it as a screwdriver before.... dont remember where or when.

who needs ammo for the mosin with a bayonet that long. I also thought it was a giant screwdriver.

 

I to am nervous about ammo levels only have a few thousand of each rifle caliber. Except my 700 in 223.

Wow - I had no idea about this. VERY excited to see how this turns out. I kinda got sidetracked with other things and only read up to issue 50 of the Walking Dead, but, it's an AWESOME comic. Thanks for the headsup bbk!

Awesome, ive been an avid reader of The Walking Dead for sometime, i cant wait to see the end result.

A little teaser before the show airs in October:

Those familiar with the comic will notice that this is an animated version of the first few pages.

Funny I stumbled on this story also. The First season is six episodes with a planned second season.

So. will I be the only one doing headshots on the tv with a dart gun? :?

 

 

Nope, the Home Defense Corps will all be up-armed with their assorted NERF guns.... I might have to get the beltfed for this one....just to be sure.

Funny I stumbled on this story also. The First season is six episodes with a planned second season.

Six? That BLOWS! On the plus side, there's so much interest in Zombies these days, that unless they do something really stupid the show should do relatively well. Hopefully they bang out the second season nice and quick.

so its going to be on the amc station i assume around what time do you think

Yes, on AMC.. as for the time... umm.. no clue. 10pm if I had to guess.

ty looks like itll be good
