Rick Grimes' Final Episode Of 'The Walking Dead' Featured An 'Evil Dead' Easter


Walking Dead What Comes After Evil Dead

It's been known in the horror community that whenever Greg Nicotero directs an episode of "The Walking Dead," there's more than likely going to be a tribute to a favorite horror film. Most of the time, this is in the form of a zombie that's been made to look like an iconic zombie from past horror films. But last weekend's episode, "What Comes After," featured a brilliant Easter Egg that many of you probably missed!

After escaping from a zombie horde, bleeding out, and barely clingin to life, Rick takes refuge in a cabin that looks suspiciously similar to the cabin from The Evil Dead. Cool? Yes! But the fun doesn't stop there. Not only is there a deer head hanging on the wall in the cabin, there's also a Necronomicon cleverly placed in plain sight!

Being that Nicotero worked on Evil Dead 2 early in his career, this is definitely a nice treat for horror fans and a fantastic nod to Nicotero's previous work in the industry.

Check out the photos below and thanks to Halloween Love for pointing this out!
