The hard-scrabble heroes of AMC’s The Walking Dead have faced many an enemy over their nine years on TV. The latest are the Whisperers, humans who wear the skins of zombies to blend in with them. They’re creepy, although I’ll admit the effect is blunted a bit on TV by the group’s leader Alpha (Samantha Morton) having one of the absolute worst southern accents I’ve ever heard:
In season 9, Alpha and her followers ambushed some survivors and slaughtered them all in a declaration of war. In season 10, it looks like the survivors are going to fight back.
In the newest teaser for season 10, we see people resisting the Whiperers by tagging walls, the only sure-fire way to stop them:

“Silence the Whispers” is a pithy slogan. Let’s hope our favorite characters survive long enough to put it into action.
While you’re here, you might as well feast your eyes on the season 10 poster.
