The Walking Dead (AMC) - News/Speculation/Discussion SPOILERS to be tagged

Gory, yes. Very. Scary... not too much.

whats gory?

I was a bit worried about the scariness myself before watching (I hate the typical scaring tactics such as monsters suddenly appearing from some dark corner combined with some very fast camera cuts in a scene), but the pacing of this episode's tension is more like a thriller than a typical B grade horror movie. It's an intelligent type of scaring where you worry about the character and how the story is progressing naturally, rather than what kind of lighting tricks and split second camera actions the director is going to use. There were several instances where I expected some cheap trick to happen but much to my liking it never happened in the way I feared. There are of course some events that are wholly unexpected for the main character, but it all fits in the story and it's not done to freak out the viewer as such.

I am actually to afraid to watch this alone... is it really scary?...

Not at all....unless your afraid of zombies.

Great premiere last night. IMO, this show definitely lived up to the hype. I can't wait to see what happens next Sunday night.

Frak yeah!

The premiere was amazing, I just hope they can keep it up. I don't know how long you can make zombies interesting for, since all they do is moan, look gross and eat flesh.

Sounds like a permanent television fixture to me!

This show will be about more than just the zombies. It will focus on the characters and their continual struggle to stay alive. That is why this show shouldn't get old.

Sounds like "Big Brother" to me, except for the eating flesh I hope this is much better than reality TV which is the worse thing to ever grace TV

Better than reality TV? That shouldn't be hard.
