AMC will be bringing The Walking Dead back for its third season this October, once again, just in time for the Halloween season. And now it looks like the series is taking things to the next level for fans. The zombie-drama is teaming up with Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood to give theme park visitors what sounds like a very cool Walking Dead-themed experience.
AMC posted the news on their blog today, stating that both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood would be offering visitors the opportunity to experience the horror of The Walking Dead through "elaborately themed, haunted mazes" for their Halloween Horror Nights events. The video below gives us a better idea of what they're planning…
Universal Studios' Halloween creative teams are working with AMC and The Walking Dead to create an authentic experience that is true to the Emmy Award-winning hit series. The haunted mazes on both coasts feature eerily authentic, elaborately designed, movie-quality sets that include some of the most iconic locations and scenes from the show. Mobs of undead walkers bring to "life" the vicious, hungry, zombies from the show."We want people to experience the same terror of the walker-filled reality our characters faced in Seasons 1 and 2 -- and will continue to face in our third season," said Greg Nicotero, Co-Executive Producer and Special Effects Make-up Artist for the series. "Our collaboration with Universal Studios' creative teams is exciting as we work to truly capture the essence of the show."
What better way to get into the Halloween spirit than by "walking in the footsteps" of the characters of The Walking Dead? Sounds like a great way to celebrate the Halloween season and AMC's drama series, which returns for Season 3 on October 14.
