The Dead Will Walk On Halloween

This isn't a trailer for a movie, but it might as well be.

AMC announced today that its highly anticipated new serial thriller The Walking Dead premieres with a 90-minute episode on -- wait for it -- Halloween night!

For those of you who have no idea what The Walking Dead is, then shame on you! Robert Kirkman's ongoing black and white comic book is great stuff and ripe for translating into a TV show. The series will be helmed by three-time Academy Award winner Frank Darabont, the director of The Shawshank Redemption.

Colour us excited. Zombies rule, especially when done right!
