The Walking Dead's Best Zombie Kills

We know you long to see the undead put down once and for all in a bloody fashion, so we're here to recap the best kills in The Walking Dead.

By Gregg Katzman February 10, 2012

I think it's about time we all admitted that the main reason we're watching The Walking Dead isn't for the drama surrounding Rick, Shane or anyone else in this post-apocalyptic world, but instead for the assorted ways they slaughter the shuffling armies of mindless zombies. We care about some of the characters, but no episode is truly complete without a brain being blown out of a walker's head by a bullet or guts grossly slithering out of a decaying body. So far, Seasons 1 and 2 have managed to appease our taste for blood. We've seen bodies blown apart, limbs smashed off, more headshots than we can count and even a few crossbow kills.

Season 2 of The Walking Dead will resume on AMC this Sunday and to celebrate, let's take a look back on our favorite zombie kills so far.

1	The Barn Slaughter

The barn slaughter was a stunning way to end the first half of Season 2. Shane's enthusiasm as he rallied up his fellow survivors had our focus and shooting the wrangled zombies was a jaw-dropper. Then he took it to the next level. He opened the barn and let the firing squad unleash on the defenseless zombies. Blood and body parts flew everywhere as Hershel watched in horror.

Then, the moment, we were waiting for since the end of Episode 1 happened. Sophia emerged, and as many of us expected, she was infected. Rick steps up his game and lives up to the fact he's (mostly) responsible for what happened to the girl. Rick aims his pistol and takes the life of a second zombie child. I'm telling you, the guy hates kids that aren't named Carl!
