The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego

Product: The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego

The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego has announced its partnership with KNB EFX Group, Inc. and its founder, Greg Nicotero. In conjunction with the release of Robert Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning The Walking Dead Issue #100 at San Diego Comic-Con, The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego takes place July 12 -14 at Petco Park, centrally located near the San Diego Convention Center.

There are three ways to participate in this epic adventure: Participants can be a Survivor and race through the zombie-infested evacuation zone; a Walker who becomes one of the undead, embracing the inevitable; or a Spectator who watches the apocalypse from the sidelines at the Escape Party. Greg Nicotero and his team at KNB EFX will transform those who sign up to be Walkers into the most terrifying zombies to grace San Diego.


Since founding KNB EFX in 1988, Greg Nicotero and his KNB EFX team have become one of the most prolific special make-up effects studios in Hollywood, doing special effects make-up for TV shows and movies such as Kill Bill, Predators, Transformers 1-3, Pulp Fiction, Dances with Wolves, Land of the Dead and The Chronicles of Narnia, just to name a few. With their work on AMC's The Walking Dead, Greg Nicotero and his KNB EFX team have deep experience creating some of the most incredible zombies in the industry; one look at Nicotero's creations for the undead and The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego participants will know they are in for a zombie experience like no other.

"We couldn't be more pleased to have Greg and his KNB EFX team on board for The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego," said event producer Liam Brenner. "People who sign up to be Walkers will have the opportunity to be completely transformed into zombies by the leader in the Special Make-up Effects industry. It's really a chance of a lifetime!"
- Liam Brenner, event producer

Skybound.com's The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego is unlike any obstacle course event in the U.S., expanding on the best-selling The Walking Dead comic book series and graphic novel storylines, allowing Survivors and Walkers to explore the initial days of the apocalypse.

Survivors will climb, crawl and slide in an effort to avoid confrontation by hordes of Walkers, while achieving the ultimate adventure on The Walking Dead-themed obstacle course. The Walking Dead Escape is not a race, and Survivors are not timed, but the end is near, and they must move swiftly. If they're lucky, Survivors will reach the decontamination zone at the end where it will be determined if they have been infected.
