Watch Five Minutes Of 'The Walking Dead' And The Real Opening Title Sequence

AMC has released a five minute sneak peak at the first episode of the upcoming small screen adaptation of The Walking Dead, which premieres Halloween night, October 31 at 10pm. The sequence takes place very early on in the episode, and basically involves the main character waking up to the zombie outbreak (something we've seen before in movies like 28 Days Later). I've had the pleasure of seeing the first two episodes of this series and I can't recommend it more highly.

Also, a couple weeks back we posted a fan created fan opening title sequence created by Daniel Kanemoto using artwork "ripped from the pages of the comic, originally illustrated by Charlie Adlard and Tony Moore." AMC has finally released the real opening title sequence online and guess what — the fan created titles is much better on almost every level.

Hit the jump to watch the five minute sequence and the real opening title sequence.
