The Walking Dead Epic Series Trailer for New York's Comic Con is Here

Horror fans really seem to be into "The Walking Dead" AMC zombie series, so here is the latest promo for the film. This clip is over one minute in length and this reel was created for the AMC "The Walking Dead" showing at the New York Comic Con. Relevant for showing more action sequences and CGI effects, this is surely the best trailer to date!

This is an editorial comment on television and originality in general. There are so many police or detective shows on television, that AMC's approach to television is welcomed by this cinema enthusiast. Does there really need to be three versions of "CSI?" No absolutely not. Instead, there needs to be at least one zombie influenced series showing each year. This is not too much to ask, by those who love creative, horrifying, zombie influenced programming. So, standby "The Walking Dead," leave comments on AMC's blog below, and get involved to make sure interesting undead television series continue to be made, rather than the same old cop drama!
