We want to pass along some photos that we thought you may be interested in of some well-known faces that were spotted enjoying the terror of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood this past weekend.
First up, we had the cast of AMC’s hit TV series “The Walking Dead” –including stars Lauren Cohan (“Maggie”), Norman Reedus (“Daryl”) and “ Chandler Riggs (“Carl”) and joined by The Walking Dead’s Executive Producer Greg Nicotero—having yet another close encounter with the undead walkers in Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights maze, “The Walking Dead: Dead Inside.”
Below is a video for the song, “Witch in the Woods” by The Tommy Brunett Band. Tommy’s musical approach can best be described like a big rig diesel truck powered by the roots of americana. Happy Halloween!
