The Walking Dead to stalk Universal Studios Hollywood all year

Last Updated on July 21, 2021

AMC's The Walking Dead is so enduringly popular and the Universal Studios theme parks have had so much success with attractions based on the show during their Halloween Horror Nights events that the decision has been made to build The Walking Dead Attraction, a frightening walk-through that will be open all year round at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Regular viewers of the television series will recognize some of the sights as they navigate through the sets, which will feature not only prop replicas but also recreations of moments from all six seasons of the show. Walkers will be represented by sophisticated animatronics and live performers with makeup created by the show's executive producer Greg Nicotero and his KNB EFX Group.

Universal Studios Hollywood president Larry Kurzweil said they will be taking the intensity of the show to the next level 

by collaborating with the show’s award-winning production team to create an authentic living representation of the series that can only be experienced at Universal Studios Hollywood."

The Walking Dead Attraction will start providing scares this summer. It sounds like something I would love to go through, if I ever make it out to Hollywood.
