Another startlingly unsympathetic-to-Zombies interview with a major player in ‘The Walking Dead’ tv series is out now. A small and distasteful sample:

Q: Have you created any signature zombies for Season 2 akin to Bicycle Girl?

A: If I tell you about it, it gives the gag away! But I will say one of the signature zombies we did for this season took us five weeks to build and is the most elaborate thing we did on the show. And we were working on it up to an hour before we were shooting it on-set. But there’s a lot more to do this season in regards to the way the story propels itself forward. There’s one thing that’s really interesting that they’ve established, which is this herd mentality — the idea that they travel in these big packs and that there could be hundreds and hundreds of walkers in these herds. The first episode we come upon one of these herds and it’s just terrifying.

Talking about Zombies as if they’re not people, calling them ‘it’, referring to their social gatherings as ‘herds’, yeah, you get a pretty good feel for the twisted mindset of Mr. Nicotero here.

It appears that the second season of ‘The Walking Dead’ will plumb new depths in the on-screen defamation and demonization of the Undead. How tragic.
