Hide your kids, hide your wives; the zombies are heading north.
The AMC television series “The Walking Dead,” which has spent most of this week filming in Henry County, will be shooting scenes in the Vinings area of Cobb County on Monday.
According to a notice sent by the management of the Riverwood 100 office building to tenants, the intersection of Cobb Parkway and Riverwood Parkway, which is just south of Akers Mill Road, will be closed to through traffic from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday “to accommodate scenes being filmed.”
The building’s management firm also warned tenants that “simulated gunfire will be taking place during the filming of these scenes as actors are confronted by a horde of zombies.”
“The Walking Dead,” which is filming its second season, is about a sheriff who wakes up in an empty hospital after weeks in a coma, finding himself alone after the world as he knows it was ravaged by a zombie epidemic.
Shot on location in metro Atlanta, the show’s second season is set to debut in October.
Authorities in Henry County shut down a stretch of Ga. 20 near the Atlanta Motor Speedway this week for filming of scenes that included one involving a simulated massive multi-car wreck.
This week’s shooting caused no major traffic jams, but the scenes were shot in a mostly rural area of southern Henry County.
Monday’s filming will take place in the heart of suburbia, in an area crammed with office parks, retail centers and apartments, so plan on the possibility of traffic tie-ups in the area.
