For those of you who like to live under rocks as much as I have been doing these days, you’d be interested to know that sci-fi themed site of io9 has managed to post a trailer for the upcoming AMC series, The Walking Dead. The trailer was actually recorded by a fan with a camcorder so it’s not exactly the best quality. The trailer looks to have been shown in some crowded room and during the moments when the screen cuts to black, you can see the “real” zombie horde, staring at the glass. It’s pretty funny.

As for the video itself, you might want to wait until some sort of official version is released. The audio sounds like it was recorded from a microphone dunked in a nearby aquarium and the camera dances like the cameraman has had one Red Bull too many. As for the content itself, it looks pretty cool. I like the fact that our lone wanderer puts a horse to good use and the zombies themselves look fantastic. I can’t tell if they are the slow type or the speed-os, but their makeup is top notch.

Btw … io9 warns that there are some spoilers. No having read the comic book, I can’t really tell what is or what is not a spoiler, but it looks no different than any other trailer, unlike say, Avatar where people knew the entire movie without seeing it. In any case, check it out and enjoy.
