First real zombie shot from The Walking Dead

AMC has released the first production photo from their upcoming adaptation of comic The Walking Dead, which is currently being shot in Atlanta, Georgia. About the formation of these zombies, creator, director, and executive producer Frank Darabont says “Greg Nicotero is absolutely out-doing himself. The work he is doing is beyond what one could hope for. Our Zombies kick a**!”

The Walking Dead will premiere on AMC in October 2010 during Fearfest.
