‘The Riding Dead’ promo for The Walking Dead S7
“WHO did Negan kill?” is the question that has been plaguing The Walking Dead fans following season 6’s cliffhanger ending. Their question will be answered when Season 7 premieres on FOX on Oct. 24 at 11:35 a.m. and 8:55 p.m., on the same day as the US premiere. To kick off this latest season, FOX is launching “The Riding Dead,” a VR campaign that places fans in the world of a zombie outbreak. Partnering with Samsung and GrabCar, FOX will offer passengers an opportunity to experience their ride immersed amongst zombies using Virtual Reality technology. “This campaign was created specifically for fans in Southeast Asia with all the VR content shot in the region as well,” said Charo Espedido, Head of Marketing and Programming at FOX Networks Group Philippines. “Fans will be mesmerized by the VR experience, and avid fans will also notice certain hints and references to the series storyline that we’ve purposely dropped in. Make sure to look for them!” “The Riding Dead” campaign will run in Manila from Oct. 21 to Nov. 17. Fans can book a ride through GrabCar’s mobile app and keep a look out for the specially customized The Riding Dead GrabCars on the road.

Club members are entitled to be part of special pet events such as Pet Blessing, Animal Shows, Design your Own Pet Bowl, Paw Print Mold, Pet Buffet, and Interactive Seminars on how to be a responsible pet owner. Members get the chance to bring home goodie bags and receive entitlements to discounts and freebies from participating mall partners. Member’s dogs and cats are given special IDs when their owners register them at the information booth or mall concierge. Shoppers can then bring in their pets to the mall by presenting their Happy Pet’s Club card upon entry.
