Mike Maguire of Biscuit Filmworks directed this spot in which a renegade leader talks of his survival skills in a zombie-infested society. He boasts to a band of followers that he’s managed to kill over 300 zombies because he knows how to live off the land and how to fight.
One follower points out that he also has the benefit of a rigged Hyundai which is all tricked out as a zombie killing machine.
He retorts that the follower also has a zombie-killing tool, a large, sharp stick.
The spot–which ran during the premiere episode of The Walking Dead–then directs viewers to a website, WalkingDeadChopShop.com, where they can outfit their own Hyundai as a zombie survival machine.
