De website Fear.net heef een interview met Greg Nicotero gehad, en hij is de man die verantwoordelijk is voor de make van oa de zombies. Hij is dan ook vooral erg trots op hoe de walkers er dit seizoen uit zien, en of je nu de serie haat of niet. De zombies zien er inderdaad erg cool uit.

Overall I think the look of the walkers in general I think have improved from last year. There was one shot in an episode last year where there was a close-up of a zombie; and she turned towards camera and she had a close-up of a wound on her cheek. I remember that shot bothered me. Because she doesn't look like a zombie. She looks like a girl with a wound on her cheek. So what I need to do is I need to make sure that we suspend the audience's disbelief; that we literally did find zombies in Georgia some place and we wrangled them on set and we shot them. So we've accentuated a lot of the make-ups by exaggerating the cheekbones and elongating the chins. And we designed a whole bunch of new contact lenses. So every hero zombie you see in the show this year has been improved upon because of stuff that I noticed when I watched the show.

It's like contact lenses versus no contact lenses... When you have a scene and there's eighty or a hundred walkers, there's no way you can put a hundred sets of lenses. You put lenses in the first twenty or twenty-five and in the background you just tell them to keep their chins down. But every once in a while you'll see a shot where one of them will get too close, and for me it takes me right out of the show, because I'm like, "Oh, that guy's eyes should be dead!" But I'm probably the only person who really notices. I don't think other people do. But when you see those really creepy eyes, it's just such a great accent to it. Because it becomes less like a person with makeup and really makes a big difference. I'm constantly standing next to the monitor, and I've never been as diligent as I am on this show, watching the monitor next to the director. Because the directors sort of look to me to make sure I'm keeping an eye on the zombie part, rather than other stuff. After every take they're like, "How was that?" I'm like, "Well, there was one guy that was doing a little bit of Frankenstein. I gotta go..." "Yeah, go get him." So I'll walk onto the set and go, "Keep your arms down. Do this..." You're constantly finessing the background in every single shot, because if you have one extra who's doing something where his arms are swinging, it takes you right out of it.
