The Walking Dead Season 1 Special Edition Announced

If you haven’t picked up a copy of Season 1 of The Walking dead yet you may want to wait just a little bit longer. An official press release came out telling all kinda of wonderful things about the new version!

On October 4th, 2011 there is going to be a three special editions of the series released (don’t worry it’s not as bad as it sounds) – Special Edition DVD, Special Edition Blu-ray and Limited Edition Blu-ray Collector’s Tin.

Each version will contain all 6 episodes, a ton of behind the scenes features, audio commentaries, extra footage, and a balck and white version of the pilot episode. Honestly, I don’t see why they couldn’t have given us a black and white of the entire first season but beggers can’t be choosers. The collector’s tin will also have a wearable zombie mask from NECA (they do amazing stuff) and of course, a neat tin.

Each of the special editions also include all of the following features:

  • Pilot Episode: The B&W Version
  • Audio Commentaries On All 6 episodes
