Walking Dead blog: Robert Kirkman and Greg Nicotero interviews
It’s pretty obvious why AMC is going all out on the official Walking Dead blog. It’s mainly publicity, and a dash of assauging the fear of some fans that an adaptation of the comic into TV format might water down the gruesome contents. On the latter, I think there’s little to fear now, as they’ve been pretty open that this isn’t going to be a PG show. Of course, fans of AMC’s other shows, Mad Men, and the absolutely brilliant Breaking Bad probably guessed this right out of the gate.
In this latest update on the dispatches from the blog, AMC has posted interviews with comic creator Robert Kirkman (contains SPOILERS), and effects master Greg Nicotero, who’s Special Effects Make-Up Designer for the series, and who’s worked on some of my personal favourite horror films of all time, including Sam Raimi’s classic Evil Dead II and the underrated Romero film Monkey Shines.
You can catch some new photos from the set, as well as the conceptual decomposition of a Walking Dead zombie, after the break.

I remember back in the early days of video when I first saw Dawn Of The Dead, and fell in love with the zombie genre. I never dreamed that someday I would be sitting at home with my children on my knee watching a mainstream television series about zombies. It brings a tear to the eye I tell ya. Now if only they could clone Bruce Campbell….
It would be cool if they did a few little homages to Romero and Raimi in the series – I never say any obvious ones in the comic, but then again I am not as much of zombie flick fanatic to have noticed anyways
