Peter Jackson, The Black Keys, Joel Madden, Mena Suvari, Aisha Tyler, NASCAR's Kurt Busch and EXTRA's Maria Menounos and other celebrities will be "zombie-fied" through digital portraits created by The Walking Dead's Emmy-winning special effects make-up guru Greg Nicotero, according to a press release from AMC. The undead celebrity photos will run on AMC in a custom Public 'Zombie' Announcement and online at the network's dedicated campaign micro-site, www.amcgiveblood.com. The PZA reminds viewers to use their "braaains" and give blood through the Red Cross. AMC is also organizing a sweepstakes to thank those who support blood donation through the Red Cross. The grand prize is a visit to the set of The Walking Dead in Atlanta, Georgia. Details are available at the micro-site. The drive runs today through October 22.
