FOX,
leading international entertainment pay-TV network and broadcaster
of “The Walking Dead” in 125 countries outside the USA, launched its
social media driven “#getFOXed” campaign in Tokyo today. Designed to
identify super fans of its global hit shows by creating unmatched fan
experiences, the campaign kicked off with the Ultimate
Zombie Prank on Norman Reedus.
“The Walking Dead” fan and Vine “Zombie Prankster”
Nick Santonastasso,
who has more than 534,000 followers, was flown to Tokyo, Japan where he
was transformed
into a walker by the show’s Special Effects guru, Greg Nicotero. Andrew
Lincoln (Rick Grimes), Nick’s co-conspirator, manned the control room
giving the final go ahead, while hidden cameras captured every angle of
Nick’s big scare on Norman Reedus (Daryl).
Nick’s prank was a follow up to his existing 2-part viral “Zombie
Prank” Vine series:
17-year
old Nick, was born with a rare syndrome called Hanhart and has only one
arm and no legs. His determination and infectious zest for life have
enabled
him to overcome countless obstacles and he has now become an
inspiration for many kids and adults. Because of his outspoken love for
“The Walking Dead,” Nick was the perfect fan to launch the “#getFOXed”
campaign.
Don’t miss the global return of “The Walking Dead” across FOX channels outside of the USA on February 10th. Check local listings for exact times.
