Greg Nicotero Reveals Awesome Upcoming Tribute Zombie on “The Walking Dead”

Dr. Tongue is coming to “The Walking Dead.

Over the weekend, production wrapped on Season 7 of AMC’s hit zombie series, and though we’ll have to wait several months before we find out how the intense season comes to a close (April 2nd, to be exact), we don’t have to wait a second longer for our very first preview. Over on Instagram, episode director Greg Nicotero (@GNicotero) just provided a sneak peek at a tribute walker that will appear in the episode.

Nicotero, who got his start working with Tom Savini on Day of the Dead, has been known to pay tribute to iconic movie zombies in the episodes of “The Walking Dead” that he directs, and the Season 7 finale will feature an exact recreation of Day of the Dead‘s Dr. Tongue – the first zombie seen in George Romero’s film. Previously, Bub appeared on “The Walking Dead.”

In the show’s first season, you may remember that a female zombie similarly had her tongue hanging out of her gruesomely damaged mouth, but it’s clear that Nicotero is this time paying direct tribute to Dr. Tongue.

Meet the new Dr. Tongue below!

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

Scream 7 Courteney Cox

Ghostface will return in Scream 7 for Paramount and Spyglass, and Variety reports this week that franchise mainstay Courteney Cox is in talks to return as Gale Weathers.

Cox’s Gale Weathers has been part of the franchise since the very beginning, with Cox starring in every single installment in the franchise to date. While Dewey Riley was killed off in the fifth installment, Gale just keeps on surviving, most recently beating the odds in Scream VI. How many more massacres can Gale manage to survive? Is her number finally coming up?

It was recently announced that Neve Campbell will also return in Scream 7, with Campbell herself revealing that she’ll be back as Sidney Prescott in the upcoming Spyglass sequel.

Additionally, original Scream scribe Kevin Williamson will DIRECT the film.

Williamson recently wrote on Instagram, “It’s been nearly 30 years since my very first script, ‘Scream,’ was directed by the legendary Wes Craven. I never would have predicted what it would become. Or that I would be directing the seventh installment of the franchise. I am overcome with gratitude and excitement, and I can’t wait to take this journey with Neve and the entire ‘Scream’ family as we bring back Sidney Prescott in the next chapter of the ‘Scream’ franchise. Thank you to all the ‘Scream’ fans. You are the gift that keeps giving.”

The upcoming Scream 7, which is currently untitled, was written by Guy Busick from a story by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick. Stay tuned for more on the film as we learn it.

The franchise has been mired in controversy in the past several months, with new series leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega both exiting the project. Barrera was fired, while it was subsequently announced that Ortega wouldn’t be returning. In the wake of all that news, director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day) also departed the project.
