With Medium moving from NBC to its new home at CBS, some unusual things are happening, Zap2It.com reports. One of these will feature Allison Dubois (Patricia Arquette) fighting zombies.

And not just any zombies, mind you, but the back-to-basics shambling intestine-eaters from George Romero’s imagination.

And not just any old imagined zombies but the ACTUAL critters from Night of the Living Dead, series creator Glenn Gordon Caron told the TV Critics Association press tour on Monday.

Yep, an upcoming Halloween episode of the show will feature Allison inserted Forrest Gump-style into footage from NotLD, as part of our heroine’s “dreamscape”.

One reason why the move to CBS allows Medium to do season-specific episodes like a Halloween special is that under NBC, the show never started a season earlier than mid-November (Halloween is on Oct 31).

Now the season has a definite Fall start date, in time for Halloween.
