Hybrid Fx help 'The Walking Dead' take over London

Hybrid Fx were recently tasked with creating over 28 unique ‘Zombies’ to promote the upcoming FX Channel series ‘The Walking Dead’ which airs in the UK on the 5th November.

The PR stunt was truly a global undertaking, crossing 26 different cities and timezones, with each launching their own ‘undead attack’ in quick succession.

With a crew of seven Makeup & Prosthetic Artists and a starting call of 2.00am, the mass of rotting flesh was turned out in and orderly yet quite terrifying fashion in time for the 6.30am call.
London landmarks were then swamped by the ravenous zombie horde, scaring commuters as they shuffled about in the morning mist.
