Since it premiered on Halloween night in 2010 (following Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake—talk about a one-two punch), The Walking Dead has taken viewers on quite a trip through its first 99 episodes. When season 8 premieres this fall, it will do so with the show's 100th episode, and to celebrate the upcoming milestone, the cast members of the series take a break from fighting the living dead to thank the fans who have stuck by them on their blood-spattered journey.

The Walking Dead Season 8 premieres Sunday, October 22nd on AMC. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more details, and in case you missed it, check out The Walking Dead Season 8 trailer, as well as the show's Hall H panel, the trailer for The Walking Dead Robot Chicken special, and promo images from the upcoming season.

"Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, “The Walking Dead” reigns as television’s most watched drama for adults 18-49 for a record-breaking five consecutive years. “The Walking Dead” tells the story of the months and years that follow after a zombie apocalypse, and follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, who travel in search of a safe and secure home.
