The Walking Dead Season 5 Spoilers: 10 New Photos from Season 5 Premiere

AMC's The Walking Dead returns with its Season 5 premiere on Sunday, Oct. 12, and a new batch of photos from the first episode of the fifth season should get fans both excited and disgusted in anticipation of the episode.

SpoilerTV posted the batch of photos, which show Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Carl (Chandler Riggs), Daryl (Norman Reedus) and a picture of one of the most grotesque walkers to date. Check them all out here.

In other news, series creator Robert Kirkman has finally arrived at an ending for the comic book and has the last frame in his mind.

"I do know what I'm building toward, yes," he told EW.com. "I don't know exactly what issue that's going to fall on, per se, and I do have a lot of road laid out before that that is going to take a long time, but I certainly know exactly what I'm building to."

But has he actually pictured the final scene in his head?

"Yeah," he replied. "I think about a year or two ago. From the very beginning I would always plot these big, long overarching stories. So it'd be like, oh, they're going to get to the prison, then this is going to happen and then that's going to happen and that's going to happen. I wouldn't really map out how many issues those were going to take, but I would always make sure that I had somewhere between two and ten years of story mapped out ahead of me. About a year or two ago, I finally nailed down exactly what I want the ending to be. So now I've kind of got two trails of story going in my head. One working to where I'm at very far into the future, and one working from the end backwards. When those two stories meet, then I'll know exactly how long the story is. I'm rapidly approaching that point."
