'Fear The Walking Dead': How Kim Dickens Nailed That First Zombie Kill
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to kill your first zombie? Of course you have -- but unless you're in the running for a role on "The Walking Dead" or its killer new spinoff, "Fear the Walking Dead," then it's pretty safe to say you'll never know what it's like to go full-on Daryl Dixon.
Kim Dickens, however, just so happens to be one of the few who has achieved the glory of a brain-bashing, bite-avoiding zombie kill. Specifically, on Sunday night's (August 30) "Fear the Walking Dead," when her character Madison was forced to kill her former colleague with a fire extinguisher. Rough.
"I loved the way it happened," Dickens told MTV News in our NYC studio. "I loved going back into the school for the reasons that I did, for a zombie that I have to sort of fight off. I think it's a shocker who it ends up being."
Dickens added that she loved that it was a fire extinguisher that ended up being her first big weapon -- though you shouldn't necessarily count on it being the next Daryl's crossbow, or Tyreese's hammer.
"[Madison is] an ill-prepared character for weaponry, and the apocalypse," Dickens explained. "She made a quick decision."
