The Walking Dead Wants You To “Spread The Dead” Zach Oldenburg, October 12, 2011October 12, 2011 The AMC original series The Walking Dead returns with a 90-minute, season two premiere this Sunday night at 9/8c. To celebrate, AMC and Facebook are giving you the chance to create an avatar to insert into the Walking Dead universe in a new, interactive app. To see my avatar and what went into making it, hit the jump.

This app is asking me to give it permission to post to Facebook AS ME! What exactly does that mean? Because it says part of that deal is being able to post to my wall and the walls of my friends “on my behalf.” …?
