- This is getting uncomfortable,
okay, over here ma'am, I know, I know
we'll eat in a second.
Wow, wow, wow look at this
Look at all this.
Can already seeing our judges deliberating.
Oh man, oh man.
We have no brains but to giveaway,
we have some signed issues of the Walking Dead,
we got Walking Dead shirts, bags, hats.
We also have a Comic Con exclusive,
the shown action figure.
We also have an action cam to giveaway,
to our first prize winners.
Unfortunately, we can only have five contestants.
I will start off, sir, with the horrible looking eye
and the strangled dog,
I will be selecting you as my contestant to play for it.
So please step up, step upfront sir.
Sina, who would you like to, uh?
- [Sina] I choose her.
- You have been chosen by Sina Grace as a contestant.
Very, very nice.
[Sina] I would shake your hand but I want it,
I wanna keep it.
[Matt] I'm gonna take spike head nurse over here.
- Spike Head nurse, spike head nurse has been selected.
- [Ade] I'm gonna have to go,
you know I like the one with the zipper face.
[David] Okay, it's tough now, but I think I'm going to
go with the guy here in the white,
the male nurse and the mask, the exposed body there.
- Let's take a moment to meet our finalists,
before they're judged.
We will start with my horse in this race,
sir what's your name?
(zombie moaning)
- Are you going to remain in character the whole time?
(zombie moaning)
- [Sina] I've gotta name for him,
we name him dead dog.
- Dead dog?
That's great.
- Let's see what the judges have to say,
hopefully it's a little more than what you had to say.
Sina, what do you got?
[Sina] I'm a big fan of accessories,
as you can tell by my arm band.
You're pretty gnarly,
you don't have much in terms of personality,
you're not very talkative,
- [Interviewer] 1-10 what do you score, Sina?
- [Sina] 9, because I don't like your attitude.
- [Interviewer] You gotta nine sir,
let's move onto Matt.
[Matt] Kinda want to score points right there with,
a split open dead dog.
- {interviewer] What about the eye,
what do you think about the eye?
- It's creeping me out,
its not really that gory,
its just creeping me out.
- [Ade] You know I'm loving the creativity here,
the dog yeah, I'm gonna give you
a seven for the dog.
- {interviewer] What do you got David?
- Well I'm judging on creativity here.
And I'm thinking that there is some great work
going on there with the dog,
there's some great work going on there with the face,
you don't look like much of a zombie from the waist down,
but no, I'm liking it,
I'm still going to give you an eight there,
for the dog and the eye.
- Let's move onto our next contestant.
Ma'am, how are you doing?
- [Zombie Lady] Okay.
- All right, we're going to speak,
this is great.
So, what's your costume about,
tell me a little bit about it.
- [Zombie Lady] A zombie captive that got away.
- Oo it's a zombie captive that got away,
how tasty is chomping on this?
- [Zombie Lady] Delicious (evil laugh)
- All right judges.
- So the thing I liked about you,
was even when the camera wasn't on you,
you were chewing on those zombie bits or whatever,
and you got a lot of personality,
you're very sassy,
I like that you are a head to toe zombie,
I'm gonna give you an eight.
- Eight! We gotta eight.
- Is that a real chain?
- [Interviewer] Plastic, but convincing plastic
- So I'm gonna go for a nine for that.
- Let's meet our next zombie,
how are you doing sir?
- [Zombie Nurse] Not too good, my last patient bit me.
- His last patient him, so he's gotta bit of
a backstory, well Sina what do you think of this costume?
- Overall you're great, and if I was judging on
ya know gore and all that stuff,
I would give you high marks,
judging on personality,
and ya know you're just sort of swaying a little bit
and you're relying too much on the makeup,
you're not being a full on zombie.
I like all of you so I'm gonna give you a seven,
I'm sorry.
- Yeah, I'm liking the head to chest effects,
so I'm gonna give you eight.
- Let's meet zombie contestant number four,
we dubbed screw head earlier.
- Do you have a backstory to this at all?
- [Zombie Screw head] Yes, I was nurse in a psych ward,
with Dr. Feelgood and then he bit me.
- There is something about the blood,
the way it's going across the costume,
that looks like its coming from underneath the costume.
And then its on the legs,
speaking a whole level of trauma,
I can't even see.
So, and the spike in the head it's top,
so I'm gonna give you a nine.
- I gotta say I'm loving the skirt and the dirt
on the kneecaps, brings attention to her kneecaps
I've always wanted to be kissed by a zombie,
so will you give me a quick kiss?
- [Interviewer] Will you give him a kiss?
- A quick kiss, quick.
[Interviewer] This could effect your score.
- I've always wanted to be kissed by a zombie.
Thank you very much.
- Wow, what exactly do we have going on here zipper face?
- I'm feeling a little like I'm coming undone.
- I'm pretty disappointed in the overall personality,
very sorry, so I'm gonna give you a seven.
- What time did you get up this morning to put that on?
- Like 6
- 6 a.m., now that's dedication,
so I'm gonna give you an eight for that.
- Is that all the scores in?
