I want to go back to 1968 when Night of the Living Dead hit the world,” he stated. “It changed my life forever. The first time I saw a Black hero. It was unprecedented, it was controversial, and also the social commentary changed the game.” Talking about his episode, he hinted that, “It was so good, so scary; I still am having nightmares.” Lastly, Morton teased her episode has a special meaning to fans who have watched her role as Alpha in TWD. “I’m not going to say you’re not going to get to see Alpha but it’s about Dee and it’s about [her daughter] Lydia,” she teased. Tales of the Walking Dead will premiere on August 14. For more Tales of the Walking Dead news, stay tuned to EpicStream!
