The Walking Dead is full of brilliant little details that help the show come to life. The title card in the opening credits decays season on season, and the corpses shown on screen rot in real time as time passes in the show.

One of the most obscure and 100% pointless-yet-cool details snuck in is the hidden bible references displayed throughout the show, most notably in Father Gabriel’s church.

Matthew 27:52, Luke 24:5 and others, all the displayed verses relate to resurrection or the rise of the dead, and are hidden in the corners of the frames or crop up briefly in rapid sequences.

MA: 27:52: And the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
