There&#8217;s plenty of horror that happens in those 60 pages. The director&#8217;s script covers the broad range of the zombie horror emotional spectrum, such as giving us moments of extreme gore (hey, any zombie TV\u00a0show wouldn&#8217;t be a zombie show if it didn&#8217;t have folks being munched on!), moments of shock value (hey, you didn&#8217;t think that there was a zombie hiding behind that car, did you?) and the moments that I\u00a0believe are the best indicator that <\/strong><strong>The Walking\u00a0Dead TV series has what it takes to transcend the boundaries of being simply labelled a horror show, the psychological horror scenes. Those scenes are the hammers that you&#8217;re going to remember and the ones that are going to propel this show to be viewed as something more important than just a scary show.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can <a href=\"http:\/\/coronacomingattractions.com\/news\/exclusive-review-pilot-script-walking-dead-tv-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>read the full piece by clicking here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/?s=%22walking+dead%22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>long-time fan<\/strong><\/a> of <strong>&#8220;The Walking Dead&#8221;<\/strong> comic series, I&#8217;m psyched as the television adaption moves closer and closer to my tv screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patrick Sauriol at Coming Attractions has posted an exclusive review of Frank Darabont&#8217;s pilot script for AMC&#8217;s &#8220;The Walking Dead&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,53,50,62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comics","category-horror","category-tv","category-zombies","comments-off"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3986"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3986\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19199,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3986\/revisions\/19199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
