AMC is starting a new TV series this fall, beginning on Halloween night, with a 90-minute special pilot episode of “The Walking Dead”.

Emerging from the ashes of our dearly-departed demons is The Walking Dead. The classic comic book series by Robert Kirkman has been adapted by Frank Darabont (writer of The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) and is being made into a T.V. series for AMC. Between Darabont writing and directing and Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator, Aliens) producing, you can be sure this series is going to be equal parts gripping plot and epic zombie fricassee.

Check out the teaser trailer below:
