Fans of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood have reason to rejoice — the theme park is about to unveil its scariest and bloodiest attraction to date. Opening on July 4, The Walking Dead attraction will unleash hordes of the undead upon anyone brave enough to enter this indoor horror experience, brought to you by the talented and twisted creative team behind AMC's top-rated series. A combination of animatronic and live — or dead, depending on how you look at it — walkers, designed in gory detail by The Walking Dead director and executive producer Greg Nicotero and his special effects company KNB Efx, are lurking around every dark corner inside a new, custom-bulit structure. Universal invited the media for a sneak peek at the new attraction, and L.A. Weekly was there to capture the bloody good time. All photos by Jared Cowan.
