ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT 2010, the television adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead hit small screens in the US, later going on to air in 120 countries. Based on the long-running post-apocalyptic comic, the Frank Darabont written/ directed pilot “Days Gone Bye” sparked an unexpected global phenomenon. Of course, horror-tinged TV series were nothing new, as shows like Supernatural had previously been hits, but nothing in horror TV had produced something quite like The Walking Dead’s zeitgeist takeover.
