As every fan of "The Walking Dead" is well aware, this zombie-apocalypse drama will return for its much-awaited second season Oct. 16. But AMC is announcing news that should bring delighted chills to any "Dead" devotee.
For starters, the season premiere won't be just an hour, but 90 creepy minutes.
The story resumes with the band of survivors fleeing zombie-overrun Atlanta and heading south for Fort Benning, Ga., 125 miles away, where they hope to find refuge at the U.S. Army post. But the group doesn't get far before meeting a new set of, um, challenges.
In recent weeks, the show has been the subject of worrisome reports: a trimming of the budget and the abrupt departure of original show-runner Frank Darabont. But judging from an advance look at this closely guarded premiere, "Dead" remains full of life.
The episode includes a big-time zombie encounter and a stomach-churning interlude. Then the final scene packs a wallop.
