The Walking Dead finally returns to wrap up its tenth season next month, and to mark the occasion, AMC is hosting a marathon of six of the show’s best ever episodes the night before. What’s more, you’ve got the opportunity to pick which ones get aired.
As titled Night of the Walking Dead, the marathon will take place on Saturday, October 3rd and the six episodes will be plucked from across the past decade of TWD. Fans have the chance to select which episodes are rerun by voting in a series of polls posted on the official Walking Dead Twitter account.
First of all, the account encouraged folks to vote for their favorite “Early Days” episode. The choices are series premiere “Days Gone Bye,” second ever episode “Guts,” and season 2 episodes “Pretty Much Dead Already” and “Better Angels.”
