There are many different aspects of a zombie to be afraid of: their lifeless eyes, their chomping teeth, and their grasping fingers that reach out to tear into the flesh of the living. These digits of the dead have left indelible marks on the horror genre numerous times, from the elevator scene in Dawn of the Dead to the prison fence shots on The Walking Dead and now some creative cookers are bringing zombie fingers to breakfast.

Brian Ashcraft of Kotaku.com assembled images of zombified omurice dishes (a version of an omelet) made by various cooks this Halloween season. Consisting of eggs, fried rice, and ketchup, omurice dishes were transformed by creative kitchen minds into tributes to the living dead by adding sausages to the dish and strategically smearing the ketchup.

Jutting out of the eggs and spaced out to simulate the shape of a hand, some of the sausage links have shaved skin near their tops to give the illusion of fingernails. Add to the base of these sausage links a healthy helping of ketchup in blood-splattered fashion and it looks like a zombie is reaching through your breakfast to grab your throat. We have images of the zombie omelets below (thanks to Brian Ashcraft for the pictures!):
