Zombie Outbreak Scheduled for October 26

Zombies Will Congregate to Promote Premier of The Walking Dead

If while driving to work tomorrow, you are swarmed by hordes of the undead, put your gun away and relax. It's not the forthcoming zombie apocalypse; it's just a promotion for the premiere of The Walking Dead.

In one of the coolest promotions in recent memory AMC, along with Fox, who is distributing the show overseas, is sponsoring a zombie invasion of popular landmarks across the globe to garner attention for the first episode of the adaptation of Robert Kirkman's comic book series. It will all kick off in Taipei then spread across the globe to Hong Kong and London before making its way to the United States. Expect full-on attacks at the Brooklyn Bridge and Lincoln Memorial. It will all culminate on Halloween night in Los Angeles for the premiere episode on Sunday at 10pm eastern.

The Walking Dead is produced by Gale Anne Hurd and written, produced and directed by Frank Darabont.

Remember, if you see a zombie between now and Sunday. Do not shoot it. It's an actor. We can't stress this enough.
