AMC's New Walking Dead Zombie Pics Bear the Funk of 40,000 Years

There simply aren't many ways to re-imagine "zombies" for a new audience. But take a look at AMC's just-released stills from the upcoming Frank Darabont drama Walking Dead. The ghostly harridan up top looks like a certain John Landis/Rick Baker collaboration featuring that kid from The Wiz. Terrorizing y'allz neighborhood, indeed, Vincent Price! Around the edges, she picks up a little of Carol Kane as Granny in Addams Family Values, which is nice. A pair of more horrifying Walking Dead characters follows.

The second picture looks like another Thriller throwback, and three resembles the Trent Reznor/Kraken hybrid I've been waiting on Lady Gaga to imagine for years. Sarcasm aside, Walking Dead seems pretty awesome. These characters might be AMC's most lumbering heathens since Roger Sterling.
