The terrifying walk through-style offering opens July 4 and allows visitors to explore Harrison Memorial Hospital, Delarno Foods and other dilapidated, overrun locations made infamous by the TV show.

"I can't think of a better time to announce a zombie apocalypse," Tim Runco, senior vice president of entertainment at Universal Studios Hollywood, said.

"We're all infected."

Hordes of actors in zombie makeup and prosthetics hide in dark hallways and burning buildings before scaring visitors.

There are also animatronic walkers, blood spattered walls and floors, body bags and other blood-curdling scares - bringing the grim event to life indeed!
