A Closer Look at The Walking Dead's 'Tribute Zombies'

Special effects guru Greg Nicotero discusses these zombie Easter Eggs in a special feature from the Season 4 Blu-ray.

[@GhostbustersFan77]

they should do Tar man from Return of the living dead.

[@sergiomauricio895]

BRAINS!!

[@auditoreaxel7767]

GhostbustersFan77 More Brains

[@Hrothgar87]

Seriously just a dark figure in the background doing the walk would suffice.

[@UtahsBowser]

They already have

[@the78wildcat]

That would be awesome! Hell, I'd settle for a walker Spider, Frank or Freddy.. Even a reference to the 245 Trioxin drums.

[@bluespy8130]

*SPOILER ALERT* it would've been cool if he had an empty m1911 because in the day of the dead, that's what he finds laying on the floor that Dr. Logan is killed in.

[@thecanadianfood]

I knew it! I knew I saw Bub!

[@benhuether5474]

There needs to be more compilation videos showing the lineup of tribute walkers that have appeared so far in this show. There are surprisingly few KZbin updates on this matter.

[@italaingore3041]

I would have liked to see a Zombie Conquistador or a reference to Zombi 2 (1979) somewhere...

[@jeremydaly8293]

Italain Gore I'd love to see a zombie similar to the Zombi cover

[@Goremasterhelsing]

Fun fact the episode where merle is inside his car drinking you can see the plaid shirt zombie from dawn of the dead 1978?

[@ajb9108]

Nicotero is one of the best, if not the best, in the special effects makeup industry.

[@wallacerangel616]

Love this show such a awesome show.

[@alc4117]

Tarman, Barbara and a Romero zombie should make cameos

[@benhuether5474]

Why don’t more people talk about this???

[@damvid21]

Nicotero's a cool dude.

[@xghostwalker6x]

The black sabbath zombie actually looks like Ronnie James Dio

[@3rdmin1st3r]

They should do more tribute zombies

[@tysonic777]

as hit and miss as this show can be, you have to admit the work of these gents has never been anything less than stellar

[@fartkerson]

If they edit out most of the television drama and focus only on survivors surviving and zombies being zombies, I'd watch that show.

[@sirrparker47]

They should get a zombie that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger

[@mysophia1976]

Now we know what happened to bub rest in peace bub

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

They should totally do a Lee or Clem zombie. I'd actually watch the episode it's in despite hating the show since Mary Sue samurai lady showed up.

[@Leftheria]

You hate it because a major character from the comic books the show is based on shows up?

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

55urmom If she's as ridiculous in the comics as she is on the show then I'd hate the comics too.

[@Leftheria]

KaptainMorganWo Well, she captured The Govenor and tortured him, cut off his testicles, eye and stabbed him multiple times because he raped her (I think he raped her, I don't remember) and probably because he cut off Rick's right hand. Oh yeah and Carl loses an eye. The comics are a lot more violent than the show, so I'll let you decide this.

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

55urmom So she's even more edgy in the comics. Yep. I'd hate them the second she showed up unless she also dies/leaves forever.

[@jackula4903]

55urmom yeah he raped her... he raped her baaaad lol got what he deserved

[@bryd3]

1:28 Bub is back !

[@graphicsgod]

Waay too short!! I could watch this for hours!!

[@rabbit0664]

Same

[@ZoneHorror.]

Pure brilliance :)

[@tigresuave11]

No Michael Jackson zombie?

[@Bilboswaggins2077]

It should say "it's no thriller now!!" In a zombie voice

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

They probably wanted to, but then Jackson died for real so it may have been in poor taste.

[@ZoneHorror.]

If you wanna see that cameo, watch Return Of The Living Dead Part 2. If you haven't already. :)

[@novapariah8135]

There was one in Plants Vs Zombies which was released a few weeks before Jackson's actual death, they had to remove it because they got sued by Jackson's estate

[@vampiressofshaddows]

And there was me thinking I was going nuts or that I'd just watched way too many zombie things. I keep shouting out "OI! WTF are they dong here?! Dude, wrong set!" XD lol

[@edwardlevasseur6222]

566 Thy e wsee 3 read 3 hug.

[@siquisiri]

Ha! I caught AWL one on day one!! Cool tributes

[@BrenTOR]

well this ended abruptly

[@bilwisss]

that shop floor is unnaturally clean....

[@jubberdunkus1496]

I noticed zombie flyboy right away

[@bargarberta6976]

Now where was flyboy?

[@MMega159]

Awesome, on a side note people bashing the show just because you dont like it are usually more along the line of being idiots

[@CBFmedia]

walking dead is the fricken bomb

[@mysophia1976]

Bub!

[@dpwtruck30]

I know it was Bub the second I saw him. I was so disappointed in him. He had made such progress only to fall in with a bunch of filthy meat-eating zombies again....

[@stevenirizarry1304]

AMC needs to borrow the rights to bub so that they can tell a story in the vein of last of us...bub has to escort a boy across post-zombie america in order to see why he is immune to the virus after he is bit. Bub meets sarah bowman...who takes the place of marlene, who trusts bub because of their past "experience"(day of the dead)

[@dogwelder1035]

Darude-Sandstorm

[@typicalnintendofanboy8329]

Most overrated show in the history of mankind.

[@kalashnikov47s]

It is actually, I used to think it was good but people kept dying for no reason. Usually they have an accuracy 100℅ and sometimes 0℅ simply because the plot needs it. I"m getting kinda tired of main characters dying for the stupidest reasons.

[@xenohunter95]

you are thinking of game of thrones

[@kalashnikov47s]

Never watched it. I heard it's about penises.

[@MyShitBricks]

Nobody really considers this show to be just as good as GoT or BrBa or Sons of Anarchy so not sure where "overrated" comes from. the show is just highly watched, nobody said it's perfect.

[@MegaSexymeatball]

no breaking bad is
