Check Out “The Walking Dead” Concept Art for the Badass Gladiator Walker
As a human, his name was Winslow. As a zombie, he’s been dubbed Gladiator Walker.
Fans of “The Walking Dead” can’t stop talking about last night’s epic Gladiator Walker (we even wrote an article earlier today about Gino Crognale, the makeup effects artist who portrayed the show’s all-time coolest zombie), who undoubtedly stole the entire Mad Max-inspired episode. There were other great moments, such as Rick gifting Michonne a cat sculpture and Daryl finally reuniting with Carol, but goddamn was that Gladiator Walker cool. We want a toy. Right now.
Greg Nicotero is obviously as into Gladiator Walker as we are, because he just shared a series of behind the scenes shots that provide some insight into the undead character’s creation. First off, he showed off a couple pieces of concept art that are truly awesome, and he also posted a photo of artist Norman Cabrera’s in-progress sculpt of the Gladiator Walker’s gnarly headpiece.

Scott Gimple and I spent a lot of time designing this awesome Walker. Concept art by John Wheaton; sculpture by Norman Cabrera, John Wrightson and Garrett Immel; applied by the brilliant Jake Garber, Kerrin Jackson and Kevin Wasner! Thanks to Gino Crognale for reluctantly agreeing to play the zombie because I could’ve never had anybody else do it.
We love when the show’s zombies get creative. Check out the concept art below!

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
