Even little kids are fans of “The Walking Dead”. In celebration of the Season 8 return of AMC’s zombie series, “Sesame Street” released a parody that turns the cookie monster into Sheriff Graham, an out-of-control cookie monster who must learn to control his hunger for everyone’s safety.

He’s helped by Muppet versions of Daryl and Michonne who all head into the “Cookie Safe Zone” where the Governor awaits and offers safety for Graham’s cookies. Can they stop the walking gingerbread from eating all the cookies?
