We have waited over six long months for this weekend. On October 11, 2015, season six of "The Walking Dead" will premiere on AMC at 9 p.m./8c.
Here's a guide to help get your spirits in "The Walking Dead" mood.
1. Watch Walking (And Talking) Dead
2. Learn about their #TBTs
Andrew Lincoln (Rick)
Maxie King
Steven Yeun (Glenn)
My Name is Jerry
Norman Reedus (Daryl)
You might remember him from "The Boondock Saints." Reedus has been acting since 1997, so it might be a little unfair to include his role of Judas in Lady Gaga's music video, which came out in 2011, after TWD. Here it is anyway.
Lauren Cohan (Maggie)
"Modern Family" (She's the receptionist; she's wearing a wig.)
Scott Wilson (Hershel)
"Shiloh"
4. And Walker #TBTs
There are countless amounts of walkers on TWD. Sometimes, the actors playing zombies are reused, doused in different make-up and clothes. But how do they make each walker vary? They have their inspirations.
On the left are zombies from movies/etc. and on the right are TWD's walkers.
"Dawn of the Dead"
"Flyboy"
"Red Flannel Zombie"
"American Werewolf"
"Jack Goodman"
The detail is incredible, especially considering the fact that these walkers are usually mixed in with others, so they aren't able to be seen as, say, the walkers with larger roles. The ones that really feast.
5. Look out for impostors.
Yes, those really cute impostors.
6. Make festive dishes.
Did you ever imagine there would be "The Walking Dead" inspired recipes?
Meat Hand
A brave blogger came up with this recipe. The nails and wrist bone are onion!
7. Look the part.
You could buy a $35 cross bow to be like Daryl Dixon, or if you find cheaper options, and spend on average, at least $10 on each part of the costume.
I don't know about you, but plastic ears on a string is not worth $8. Assuming you'll only be wearing it once, it might be better to be a walker instead.
8. Or, you can make your own ears.
9. If you haven't yet, watch the Webisodes.
10. Re-Watch TWD.
11. And "Fear The Walking Dead"
I hope this guide adds fuel to "The Walking Dead" fire burning inside you. Get ready for Halloween mode (if you're not already there) but more importantly, fill it with your favorite flesh-hungry monsters.
