AMC’s “The Walking Dead” has been nothing short of a powerhouse for the channel. It draws in millions of viewers, has become a cultural phenomenon, and is about to launch its 8th season with no end in sight. Whatever your feelings on it may be, there is no denying that it is quite possibly the most important horror show of this millennium.
One of the most incredible and delightful aspects of the show is the joyous amount of practical FX and makeup that goes into the series, which brings the “Walkers” to life (death?) in the most gruesome and stomach-churning ways.
To celebrate the October 22nd premiere of the 8th season, I wanted to take this opportunity to showcase some of the most iconic walkers that have appeared throughout the preceding 7 seasons. From the bicycle zombie seen at the beginning of the series to the zombie in the well at Hershel’s farm, from the Governor’s daughter to the SWAT zombies at the prison, the amount of detail and care given to these creatures is simply phenomenal.
So, enjoy these images of iconic ghouls from “The Walking Dead”!
Season 8 Synopsis:
Last year, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be. The introduction of Negan and the Saviors broke our group.
Feeling powerless under Negan’s rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn’t be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.
This year, Rick brings “All Out War” to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.
Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it’s not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors’ grip on this world may finally be coming to an end.
