Young Hollywood

Exactly. It looks like you're having fun. We're gonna try some costumes on I think.

Young Hollywood

Sons out, guns out here at Hollywood Toys and Costume. I'm Freddy Krueger. This was my I literally was this for Halloween every year. Went to Catholic school dressing as the Freddy Krueger. He's good. Dude, that's so scary. He's good. Being in the prequel to The Walking Dead, are there any crossovers?

Lorenzo James Henrie

You know, personally I think it'd be sick. Right. But I know that the the director our our showrunner and the creators, I don't think they have any plans.

Young Hollywood

Got you. Got you. For that. Keep it independent. Well, it's doing very well on its own legs. What was it like the first time because the zombies on set are insane. Yeah. I mean, not that I've seen them on set, but just seeing them on the screen, they're pretty They're pretty real to life. Not that I've ever seen a real life zombie. Not if I did, it would look like that.

Lorenzo James Henrie

Yeah, yeah. I mean, especially because ours is the prequel, so we're trying to go for a fresher look. Right. We're not calling them walkers, we're calling them they're infected. Right. So it's like it looks like a real person but like they just had a bad weekend.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, just a bad weekend like they just got done partying all night and then they wake up the next morning 6:00 a. m. in and they've been eaten.

Lorenzo James Henrie

And they've been, yeah. infected and eaten.

Young Hollywood

Now, obviously the viewing figures tell us that the world loves watching things where the world's ending. Yeah. There's this fascination. Everyone somewhat wants it, I think, in the back of their mind. Weirdly enough. Why do you want the world to end? What happened to watching The Notebook? Yeah. Now it's just Walking Dead and zombies. Fear the dead. Fear the happy. Fear the happy. Yeah, let's be happy. Let's do a new show. We can do our own new show. Let's just go back to NCIS feature. We're gonna be happy. We're gonna be happy.
