The Walking Dead Season 6: 18 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

The Walking Dead Easter Eggs

As we've already seen, Greg Nicotero loves paying homage to past horror movies, and he accomplished that again in the midseason finale. 

When the tower falls and the walkers descend on Alexandria, they're seen as shadowy figures walking through a cloud of dust. The idea here is that Nicotero was paying homage to The Fog, John Carpenter's 1980 horror. If you've seen The Fog (or you can just look at the video below) then it's fair to say he captured the look and feel of it really well.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
