LEGO Version of That Walking Dead Scene is Every Bit as Brutal
A LEGO animator recreated the much-discussed sequence from "The Walking Dead's" Season Seven premiere -- and it's pretty gory.
If after five days you're still unable to get the gruesome images from "The Walking Dead's" Season Seven premiere out of your head, then, well, this video is unlikely to help. Oh, OK, it definitely won't help.

Although LEGO generally makes anything cheerier, everything isn't awesome in this animated recreation of the scene in which Negan so brutally kills Abraham and then Glenn. If anything, the adorable little minifigures may make the sequence worse.
Blending stop-motion animation with dialogue and, yes, sound effects from Sunday's episode, titled "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be," YouTube user kristo499 faithfully recreates the bloody scene that had everyone talking this week. The video doesn't dial back on the gore, either, as we see the gooey remnants of Abraham's head on the LEGO building plate, and on Lucille. And the attention paid to minifig Glenn's face and bulging eye is ... unsettling.
Perhaps nearly as unnerving are the horrified expressions on the faces of the other minifigs. It's good, if nightmarish, work by kristo499, who writes, "This video took forever to make!" The time and effort paid off, though.
Airing Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC, “The Walking Dead” stars Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan, Chandler Riggs, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Lennie James, Sonequa Martin-Green and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
