Zombies scare New Yorkers on street - video

Zombies were recently let loose on the streets of New York.

Many New Yorkers were filmed showing their surprise to see the realistic-looking undead roaming the sidewalks in various different guises.



The video sees several zombies, including a postman, a hot dog vendor and a construction worker, shock and scare city residents.

The stunt was produced as part of AMC's 'Put Zombies Back on TV' campaign, in relation to their hit TV series The Walking Dead.

The network's campaign is in protest against being dropped by leading satellite provider DirecTV.

Face Off contestant Sue Lee provided the make-up and costumes for the zombies in the video.

The Walking Dead will return for a third season on AMC on October 14.
