The WALKING DEAD – Zombie New Years Marathon

Do you want to spend New Year’s Eve with the dead? AMC is giving everyone the chance to ring in 2012 with zombies, brains, guns, and a whole lot of post-apocalyptic stress with the Walking Dead New Year’s Eve Marathon.

New Year’s Eve will be the perfect time to catch up with AMC’s The Walking Dead in case you didn’t hop onto the zombie bandwagon when the series first started in Fall 2010, or if you just want to relive all the action and drama that the show delivers.

THR has revealed that the Season 1 pilot, Days Gone By, will air at 11AM EST on Saturday, December 31 and the undead action will continue through all 13 episodes of the series, with the Season 2 mid-season finale, Pretty Much Dead Already, ushering in the new year at midnight. Really, is there any better way to start the year off on the right foot than by learning how to handle a zombie apocalypse? It’s always best to be prepared because you never know what 2012 might throw our way.

The second half of The Walking Dead Season 2 debuts on February 12, 2012 and it should probably be on everyone’s must-watch list after the way Pretty Much Dead Already ended. Incidentally, is anyone else less than thrilled about the current trend of splitting a season into two parts? It’s a nasty habit and they should just quit it.
