Fear the Walking Dead: Cool custom Snapchat lens
By Susie Graham
Fear the Walking Dead returns on AMC with a social media promotion on Snapchat for fans to create animated zombie versions of themselves to share.
AMC, The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead have been pretty creative with their art and promotions for the shows. The Twitter and social media accounts are quite active sharing posts, pictures and questions to get fans involved.
The Dead Yourself app has included Fear the Walking Dead parts. Now for the Fear the Walking Dead return, they have involved super popular social media site Snapchat in the mix with a custom lens.
According to On The Line Social Media the lens works this way:
"This lens is one of the more complicated Snapchat lenses that has been created so far. The lens starts by putting you in a scene in Tijuana. In the bottom left hand corner you will find the logo for the show Fear the Walking Dead along with the AMClogo. The lens also has text that reads tonight at 9. Once activated a number of zombie arms will cover you and turn you into a zombie."
Fear the Walking Dead zombie Snapchats have been popping up all over Twitter. Colman Domingo shared his today and the official site for Fear the Walking Dead is retweeting the infected fans’ chats all over the place!

Fear the Walking Dead is on right now in a marathon of the first 2 seasons and will return with the premiere of season 2B at 9/8C, followed by Talking Dead hosted by our newly married Chris Hardwick. (Will he be back in time or will he send a zombie doppelganger?)
Next: Chris Hardwick is married!
Head over to Snapchat and let the infected get you! Share your snaps with Undead Walking and Fear The Walking Dead on Twitter! Happy Snapping!
