Following the steel cable walker massacre from the mid-season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead, you may have thought that the living dead highlight would go unchallenged for quite some time. But Rick's showdown with the Scavengers' nearly indestructible armored walker (in their own version of the rancor pit) threw the gauntlet down once again, and Greg Nicotero has shared concept art of the nightmare-inducing walker.
On Instagram, Nicotero revealed the concept art and a behind-the-scenes photo of the headpiece for the spiked walker that nearly ended Rick's life inside a gladiator pit of trash. You can take a look at Nicotero's comments and images below, and in case you missed it, check out photos and preview videos from next week's episode, "
From Instagram: "Walker from tonight! Scott Gimple and I spent a lot of time designing this awesome Walker concept art by John Wheaton sculpture by Norman Cabrera, John Wrightson and Garrett Immel applied by the brilliant Jake Garber Kerrin Jackson and Kevin Wasner! Thanks to Gino Crognale for reluctantly agreeing to play the zombie because I could've never had anybody else do it."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
