The first zombie we are treated to is a young girl with bunny slippers... and part of her face missing.  While gruesome and ominous, the young actress behind the make-up is far from.  Addy Miller has been featured here several times in the past and is an absoulte delight to speak with.  To win your choice of a signed picture, email your info to addy@zombiesandtoys.com.

Who would've ever thought that a zombie would elicit compassion from the living?  Melissa Cowan as the Bicycle Zombie touched a nerve with Rick Grimes.  Email melissa@zombiesandtoys.com to have those eyes looking at you every day.

Many fans have been cheering for Chandler Riggs and his portrayal of Carl Grimes.  Carl is one of the most pivotal characters in the books and I was excited to have the opportunity to speak to Chandler.  Humble and polite, I instantly understood why he was cast to play they young Grimes.  Don't miss an opportnity to meet Chandler if the opportunity presents itself.  Email your info to chandler@zombiesandtoys.com for your chance to win a photo.

Keisha Tillis played a wife as well, only a rotting, shambling dead one.  Mother of Duane and wife of Morgan, she is left to torment them with her presence.  Send your info to keisha@zombiesandtoys.com for your chance to win one of her photos.

Another delightful young man we have had the pleasure of meeting is Adrian Kali Turner.  Adrian played Duane whom we mentioned above.  Email us at adrian@zombiesandtoys.com to be entered to win one of his photos.

Fellow survivors in The Walking Dead are sometimes a rareity.  Anthony Guajardo played Miguel, a pivotal character in the Vatos episode.  Send your info to anthony@zombiesandtoys.com for your chance to win.

We will choose winners at the end of this month.  It may be a process to organize all of the winners' pictures, so be patient with us if you are selected as a winner.  But, we'll do our best to have your pictures in-hand by the time season 2 premiers!

"The Walking Dead" - A Whole Mess of Info!

Updates on AMC's adaptation of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" is pouring in faster than I can keep on top of it. Not that I'm complaining. With each bit of info I receive, I become more convinced that it will live up to my expectations. Enough rambling, how about some updates?

The role of Rick Grimes' son, Carl, has been cast! Chandler Riggs is an Atlanta local where The Walking Dead is currently being filmed. His previous credits include "Get Low" and "The Wronged Man". Yeah, I haven't heard of them either. I think Chanlder looks the part. Now, let's just hope he can act.

The second production still has also been released. This time, we're getting a look at Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes. In case you missed it earlier, follow this link to view the first production still of an amazing looking zombie.

Finally, Ain't It Cool News posted a bunch of pics taken during the filming of the series. A reader's bedroom window overlooks the set and he sent in the photographs. Keee-ripes, man! If that were my room, I wouldn't be able to leave! Scroll down to view all of the pics because every stinkin' one is worth viewing.
