Obviously we’re going to start off the day with the Walking Dead news from the weekend, of which there was a lot. Also the podcast will be returning very soon where we’ll recap the previous episode of the show and discuss other things zombie.
- The season two premiere of The Walking Dead shattered last year’s record numbers to become the highest rated cable drama in history. Over seven million people tuned into the premiere, and over eleven million watched counting the re-air later that night. (TV By the Numbers)
- New series show runner Glen Mazzara discusses the show’s new directions in an interview. (CNN)
- Robert Kirkman also gives a spoiler filled interview about last nights episode. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don’t read this if you haven’t seen the episode, the spoiler is in the freaking article title. What were you thinking MTV!? (MTV)
- George A. Romero, the godfather of zombies, comes off as kind of a douche in this interview where he talks about how he’s never watched The Walking Dead and is kind of disappointed with the current zombie love in media. Let’s hope it was taken out of context. (zap2it)
Hornady Manufacturing has just released it’s line of “Zombie Max” ammunition which is guaranteed to be the most effective firearm round for dispatching of the undead horde. (Pete Thomas Outdoors)
Undead Labs has released some new info about their upcoming zombie MMO and it looks like it’s going to be pretty epic. If the rumor mill is true then when you die in the game, you’re dead, for good, until you return as a zombie. (MMO Crunch)
