Watch the new ‘Walking Dead’ webseries

I feel like some television shows really spoil their viewers with extras leading up to new episodes.  I’m not talking about previews or trailers, but actual bonus scenes and minisodes.  For example, Doctor Who’s pre-episode scenes in series six.  These were in addition to what was eventually aired.

However, this post is focusing on The Walking Dead.  This week AMC released a three-part story leading up to the fourth season, airing Oct. 13.  In total, it’s nearly 30 minutes long and standalone, more or less.  All I’ll say about this miniseries is it touches on one of my favorite zombie movie tropes: the real monsters during the zombie apocalypse.

Hopefully other shows/networks do the same because this is actually the third mini-series released for The Walking Dead.  I really loved the first webisodes “Torn Apart,” which provided the backstory for the torso zombie Rick Grimes finds in the park at the start of the series.

So, fellow Walking Dead fans if you haven’t watched this new mini-series, “The Oath,” it’s available!  Or even non-Walking Dead fans: it’s Halloween month and this has zombies.
