Fans of “The Walking Dead” horror drama know in gruesome detail what befell Georgia residents when the zombie apocalypse struck. Now Los Angeles is in the spotlight as a prequel, “Fear the Walking Dead,” premieres on AMC.
When the pilot episode opens, teenage drug addict Gloria (Lexi Johnson) has died, reanimated and partly devoured two junkies at a boarded-up Eastside church.
Now Gloria targets 19-year old Nick Clark (Frank Dillane), who’s not sure if what he sees is real or if he’s lost his mind during a nightmarish heroin trip.
Fleeing in terror, Nick escapes the church and runs barefoot down the street.
