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.
