Greg Nicotero Snuck a Creepshow Reference Into The Walking Dead

"The Most Fun You'll Ever Have Being Scared!"

The Walking Dead's upcoming twelfth episode of season 7 will feature a tribute to a horror classic.

Longtime Walking Dead director Greg Nicotero took to Instagram to reveal he's slipped an Easter egg that pays homage to the 1982 George Romero and Stephen King cult horror film Creepshow. The episode, titled "Say Yes," will see Rick and Michonne exploring a creepy carnival and encountering a walker trapped in a ticket booth.

Maybe a "Creepshow" tribute in this upcoming episode of "The Walking Dead". My 19th episode as director. See you Sunday! All Rick, All Michonne, All Walkers! @amcthewalkingdead Off to London for @foxintchannels and @walkerstalkercon #creepshow #twd #knbefxgroup

The poster for Creepshow famously features a skeleton in a ticket booth as well handing out movie tickets with a banner close by that reads, "The Most Fun You'll Ever Have Being Scared!" Creepshow consists of five creepy short stories all written by Stephen King and directed by George Romero.
