Horror fans get an extra treat whenever they watch AMC’s “The Walking Dead” as effects icon, executive producer and director Greg Nicotero hides easter eggs all over the show.

Whether it’s a nod to Shaun of the Dead or Evil Dead 2, An American Werewolf In London or a George A. Romero classic, there’s always fun “tributes” hiding in the background.

Unfortunately, one of the coolest to date landed on the cutting room floor.

Nicotero shares a black and white tribute to Romero’s 1968 Night of the Living Dead. Here’s a look…

“The tribute Walker that hit the cutting room floor from episode 6 of this last season… Johnny from the one and only Night of the Living Dead! After the fact I realized I should have used him in the premiere and he would have been in black and white. Damn!!”
