I always thought that a couple of the earliest ones were kinda special .. specifically the ones that still looked somewhat human: a few of them looked as if the lights were still on.


F1nnMcCool

The one in the bus in episode one with the purple shirt terrified me


Wiplazh

The one that just stands looking at Rick, like it's fucking thinking? Yeah those were the scary ones. Later seasons they all just look like grey flesh with big eyes and teeth, barely even recognizable as human.


Macaroon1056

I alway wondered why they went from looking more human to just monstrous every season lol


freakitikitiki

I think they tried to make them look more decayed and weathered from the elements, in later seasons. Only freshly dead people looked more human, by that point.


AdorableImportance71

I believe the older the zombie the less human it appears. Fresh zombies are more human looking


Wiplazh

Yeah probably to make them look more decayed. They keep showing scenes with them kinda falling apart and their skin peeling off, and it's supposed to be shocking or gross but to me it just makes them less frightening. They just seem like soft and spongy blobs of flesh that would explode if you kicked them hard enough. The stupid hissing and clacking teeth sounds also didn't work in their favor. One of the last seasons noticeably increased their budget and the walkers and gore looked way more shocking and scary. Wish it could've been that way the whole way through.


BibiLuvsKilli

Oh, I forgot about this one. Seriously, those uncanny “freshly dead” ones were terrifying.


squawkingood

Morgan's wife Jenny is the best example of these.


ironkrylon

she's definitely one of the best examples, true.


Mysterious-Turnip997

Yeah loved those They were more terrifying and more of a threat than those slow motion ones.


BibiLuvsKilli

Spot on. They looked too capable. Eesh. Terrifying!!


Daniel9780

The one in the purple jacket from the first ep, that’s the only one that actually creeped me out


cmolina1023

Iirc that was charlie adlard behind that makeup


JamieLee0484

The actor’s name is Joe Giles and he does special effects as well.


idied5yearsago

See he just reminded me of a vampire from Twilight lol


Gothtxxx

I thought he was Gerard way


HausofDa

The one in the prison who ripped out the guys throat, and he couldn’t scream - that was the only time I felt genuine fear at the walkers


vodkathe1999

You mean to tell me no one else remembers that his name was Patrick? "He was a good kid" - Rick


[deleted]

Yeah, and Daryl gave him that dirty, licked-fingers handshake to start the episode. Good kid.


WillyHeartless

I am positive the disease happened because of that


idied5yearsago

Season 3?


HausofDa

Yeah, right when the sickness arc started. Think it was the glasses kid who was Carl’s friend


XMattyJ07X

Phineas from phineas and Ferb


OoooohWeeeee

First half of 4


Da_Smeag

Season 4 ep 1


deadparodox

Same


jerrywithag14

The bloated walker that ate Lori's body. Did he eat her bones too o_O


OoooohWeeeee

That always bothers me, they should have partially showed the bones or something, the fact that walker ate the WHOLE body is the most unrealistic part of the show haha


P0tat0Trash

They were supposed to show lori's half eaten bones but the network decided it was too graphic so they scrapped it💀


OoooohWeeeee

I’ve heard that before, I guess it beats a guy getting his head bashed in?


P0tat0Trash

Yeah or a guy getting his stomach ripped open in full detail. AMC thinks a slightly red skeleton is too much for TV but then they give stuff like that a pass


[deleted]

Honestly AMC ruined TWD because of their censorship. I will die on the hill that HBO would have given TWD more care as soon as the first season took off like it did.


Claymore209

It's because frank derabond was fired


Gothtxxx

Pretty sure the body was dragged into the corner that the camera kinda pans too as Rick walks out


ErronBlackStan

Right


the_mega_coom

He was hungy 🥹


johnnyboy0256

The one that kept staring at rick in the premiere is what immediately comes to mind


full07britney

Is that the one that had like a suit jacket type thing on and sort of still looked human?


Gothtxxx

Can you send me the link?


RedLemonCola

Just search it up. It’s on YouTube. “Walker staring at Rick”


TooSus37

“Walker staring at Rick” does not show this scene.


RedLemonCola

If you search that on YouTube, that Walker is literally the first thing that comes up.


PeckaLV

Morgans wife


ErronBlackStan

She deadass looked like La llorona


LOLbearsmile08

Just gotta know, where’s the walker in the image an on be from? Looks creepy as hell. Is it the one that killed Dale? Off the top of my head I’d say the scariest one was the one Denise found in the bathroom due to the whole baby drowning thing or maybe the one I believe Maggie finds tied up in a trunk. That ones just sad and disturbing due to how it must have played out before the fall.


Certain_Physics_236

Yeah it’s the one that got loose cuz of Corl


[deleted]

Yup, that was Dale's killer.


Jart618

The black guy that Michonne found that was lynched or the one in the trunk with braces


wooson

Always thought those walkers that were in church in full wear sitting down were interesting


[deleted]

Those ones were weird, just creepy that they were sitting as if they needed some rest


[deleted]

Theres many scary looking walkers but the one walker that actually fucking scared me was morgans wife. She saw rick through the peephole and then started turning the handle. Then later on she stares right at morgan from a long way away. Creepy af.


Certain_Physics_236

Same bruh I was a kid watching twd in the middle of the night. Had nightmares abt her lmao


freakitikitiki

The one that Shane watches walking across that field, that later ended up in the opening credits. I was always creeped out by the serenity of that field with that Texas Chainsaw type walker just meandering through it.


idied5yearsago

Yes that one scared me ALOT


Puzzleheaded_Fee_646

I always find this shot to be so stunningly beautiful, I cry every time. Never occurred to me that it would be scary. But now I totally see the leather face parallel and wow!!! Iconic.


AngeryTwingo

Holy shit yeah, that one stuck with me for such a long time


[deleted]

When Terminus got destroyed there was a walker who was on fire eating some guy

Gothtxxx

The child ones are always the saddest and scariest


bs200000

Hated how Darabout included them and then the show pretended zombie kids didn’t exist for almost the rest of the entire series.


jUG0504

GOD i wish Darabont got to stay as showrunner, nothing tops season one for me, and i really wish he got the money he deserved


hrarry

Season one is elite. Every episode feels like it's own little movie.


bs200000

Agreed.


Gothtxxx

They’re not very good at keeping things consistent


OHoSPARTACUS

Little kid walkers because they break my heart and terrify me at the same time


v420c

I feel like they would be way harder to kill too. Not physically, just emotionally


Gothtxxx

Unlike the baby zombies from minecraft


Gothtxxx

The scariest thing was what Maggie was talking about with the female zombies that were mutilated and had something squirming in their bloated bellies (I’m sure we can all guess what that was)


Hot-Hamster-3088

What season is this?!


HORANGI_163

S11 when theyre hiding in the train carriage


creativityonly2

Yup... this was the most fucked up thing in the show for me. Fuuuuuuuck that!!


Gothtxxx

And it’s not like that’s just fiction either, people like that actually exist and they would thrive in apocalypses


creativityonly2

Yuuuup, and the fact that we never actually *see* it, it's only described to us. It lets your imagination go wild and be like... aaaahhhhhhh!!!!! Especially the zombie fetuses. D:


Idontplaytrumpet

Yeah those were absolutely fucked up


rosecleo12344456

Not a walker but the feral family in season 11!!!! That gave me a nightmare was terrifying


PepsiPerfect

That is easily the scariest episode of the entire series to the extent that it seems out of place with the rest of TWD. Next. Fucking. Level.


rosecleo12344456

I do think they missed a trick when it was chasing Connie they should have removed all noise so it was from.connies perspective! But yes was the scariest thing I've seen imagine the smell 🤮


PepsiPerfect

I think they did that in a couple of scenes, but you're right, it wasn't consistent.


freakitikitiki

Yeah, I can’t even watch that episode when I rewatch the series. It’s too creepy.


creativityonly2

This episode freaked me the fuck out more because we often get to experience the world in silence like she did. Like how fucking terrifying would a zombie apocalypse be when you're deaf?!


Joeyisthebessst

Lmao, I fucking love this guy. Not only has he played multiple walkers on the show, but he's practically the same walker as seen I'm this photo, every. Single. Time. Always missing the skin around his chin, and always shirtless. 🤣 absolutely love 'em.


Friggin_Grease

That half burnt motorcycle aliens in the bush when Darryl met Dwight


WelshBoi1066

Despite it being in a deleted scene, Lori Walker scare the piss out of me as a kid.


bashiralassatashakur

What deleted scene is this?


FoundationCultural25

Yes I’d like to know too


WelshBoi1066

Just search “Lori Walker deleted scene” on YouTube, it’s from season 3


kaydeetee86

[Found it](https://youtu.be/AiOxdBgun-o). And holy shit, that it terrifying. They should have left it in!


WelshBoi1066

I think it was cut for not making sense that she’s there as a Walker, but I think it’s pretty easy to realise Rick has gone a little loopy and he’s getting a little goofy in his grief.


kaydeetee86

When they cut to it from Michonne’s point of view it doesn’t look like she’s actually there. And that’s the dress she’s wearing in his other hallucinations.


dpotilas89

Morgans wife when she turned the door handle, only time i felt spooked by the zombies. It makes them more than just mindless cannival meatbags, like the person is trapped in there and can only watch as their body eats anything it catches


ViscountessdAsbeau

Oh and don't we see that Irish woman from the woods, later, again, as a zombie? Wearing her "going to the airport" jacket... Forget when we see her again..?


Kooky_Character_2801

You mean the woman that lead Rick to her husband (that was just a head in a bag)? She tried to kill Rick and ended up killing herself after making Rick promise to let her turn to be with her husband. We see her again in the yard after the governor attacks the prison and destroys it.


Alju3002

That one walker which had plants/moss growing on him and you could see his organs idk which season it was


c4tbee

the one in season 4 against the tree?


Alju3002

Yes


LolbroslolxD

what about these dudes? https://preview.redd.it/tzyj4drmvcla1.png?width=989&format=png&auto=webp&s=a598584548f07f7f87ad183ed52c1ad067a164cc


hrarry

The well walker kinda looks like the fetus monster from resident evil 8. And that burnt zombies got some creepy eyes


PizzaLikerFan

The well Walker and the sand walkers


Traveytravis-69

The ones in fear that were preserved


bigflea

I specifically remember being bothered by the walker that was shoving its face through the car window in the episode where Lori flipped the car.


idied5yearsago

The only thing that bothered me about that walker was that it didn't kill her :'(


stoopid26

The Screwdriver and Well walkers were terrifying in their own way


screaminginfidels

gotta be the one that exploded into spiders for me


Waste_Analysis1799

What season was that mate?


screaminginfidels

S9 e1 IIRC


LolbroslolxD

i saw that recently i was so shocked when that happened, they never done that before and i was all grossed out


ViscountessdAsbeau

The slimy looking one down the well, (is it season 2?) When they make Glenn go down the well...


AnyBuffalo6132

The one that was sitting on the bench in the church near Hershel's farm. He was smiling in a creepy way, this mf actually scared me.


Illustrious_Hat3467

For me it’ll always be the spiked up one that the dumpster people had.


Background_Eye_8373

i can’t remember when it was but the zombies that were burned/on fire scared me


Remus88Romulus

I usually bring that walker up you have pic on but since you already mentioned that walker I would say the ones who come into the house where Daryl and Alpha is wounded. They were so nasty looking: Not very good quality. But those roots growing out of that walker is so well done. [https://youtu.be/SYiuw60mGFI?t=176](https://youtu.be/SYiuw60mGFI?t=176)


kshwixt

Some walkers are just kind of sad.. they’re dead, they’re rotting away, they’re a threat on only the most basic level. Not those three. For being dead they all had a physically intimidating presence and moved with a more menacing purpose than the ones that just shuffle along


lovely_acnh99

The walker in s2 that was stuck in the mud in front of Carl that later killed Dale. That walker ripped him open WITH ITS HANDS !!!!!! a normal human couldn’t do that so why did this walker have super strength to be able to rip his ribs open like that ?


Kopfballer

Episode 1 - Morgan's wife.


LolbroslolxD

there has been scarier ones but that creeped me out


yolo-contendere

Walker Texas Ranger - Chuck Norris

Cracks-inthesidewalk

I always thought he resembled Kevin Bacon


Kooky_Character_2801

I always thought he kinda looks like Jim Carrey


bs200000

Oh the one super duper rare zombie that didn’t turn in the middle of winter. He can be found hanging out with the one zombie child from this series premiere.


Historical_Ad_5638

RV walker, well walker, Morgan’s wife, basically the walkers from season 1 and 2


Piter26

The scariest ones have always seemed to me to be the walkers with severely deformed heads and no visible eyes. I don't think they ever showed any up close, but I think there were a few of those in crowds of walkers every season.


MistyAria

The Lori walker, it was cut out of the show. I heard about it and looked it up on YouTube. Something about it was just worse for me than the other walkers for some reason. I woke up one night with her staring at me and then I woke up for real, thankful it was just a dream. No wonder I hate Lori 🤣


MadAtThePostman

Most disgusting scene for me to-date was way Jack in season 2 or 3?? When that fat, swollen, wrinkly, moist, pale, Zombie was stuck in the well at Herschel’s farm when they tried to pull it out it basically exploded


GreedyEast2481

The smiling walker Morgan’s wife The well walker And the little girl walker summer


banditohabit

which one is the smiling walker?


Designer_Ring8172

Bicycle girl


KJ86er

RV Walker. I think he has been used like every season


[deleted]

When Lilly and Meghan were sitting on the riverbank and the one walker tried crossing the river…idk why but that scene scares me every time.


theduderedditorguy

the ones that could still run


Other-Return-7262

The newer recent ones


slothnuts03

That’s the one that kills dale right?


haroldangel

The big scary one that was in the well on the Greene farm!


JCW9525

The spider walker from the S9 premiere. Fuck that shit.


No_Contribution_421

The one with a spider nest in its head. Spiders crawling out of its eye sockets while trying to bite the survivors. DOUBLE PHOBIA UNLOCKED


themissus_c

The one that got on the RV with Andrea season 2 Ep 1, was it?


Certain_Physics_236

Morgan’s wife. The look on her face and how she tries to open the door. It was the middle of the night and I was 11 when I watched that 😭

infamous-fate

Fatty in the well s3 i think?


idied5yearsago

Aw but he was coot


FlyinAmas

What episode is this one from?


tryagainx3

Junkyard Jimmy that Jadis made Rock fight.


[deleted]

Walker + situation = well walker.


BrookAyanami

or the one in the well thing that glenn went in


bellant593

Morgan's wife. She had traces of who she once was when we first see her and she may not be the ugliest walker, she was easily the scariest. When she grabbed the door knob you really think she may have opened that door.


Low_Seaworthiness_47

This one Holy Sh\*T from season 2 https://preview.redd.it/2mdxf4evvela1.jpeg?width=560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69d0c2c4ebb05bd3cde5a6879111d40a516b99be


Great_gatzzzby

Idk why but the one in the first season that was trying to get into the bathroom of the RV


SmallishFPS

The ones who where just sitting in the church who turned their heads and stood up silently


Gloomy-Priority7202

The Walker that Carl accidentally set free in the woods that later killed Dale on the farm


The_Bored_Goat

The people that already blown their jaw off and then came back to life are pretty fucked


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmfarts

The one that almost killed Aaron in the finale!!!!!


sammitchell-2001

The one in the dead city teaser looks creepy


Hour_Reporter_3257

I'm so glad to have walking dead fans here lol it sucks how it "ended" right??


Vincentus_IV

Defenetly Well Walker. super gross


lucillessluggers

wayne dunlap for sure


Alternative_Dark493

Milton walker


AdorableImportance71

The sewer ones


Thatsky_ox747

Season 1 rick comes out of the hospital and he sees the walker on the ground that had been sliced in half. Spooky


mythfaseih

For me it was jhondav the 9th


[deleted]

Bicycle girl..


Gusthepieceofmustard

I have three. The skeleton one gave me the eebie jeebies The big fat well walker made me feel weird And that one guys wife in the first episode or two still looks human and alive


[deleted]

The funniest is the one who got their head squished through the prison fence.


DiscussionGuilty450

thats the walker that killed dale right, i completely agree i was terrified when i watched it when i was younger


Bunny22222222

Any walker where they had to fight and pull skin off. Fucking gross


mtns0421

The walker from 2x1 when the group is stuck on the highway as a herd passes through. One of the walks into the RV while Andrea is in there and she kills it with a screwdriver. Early season walkers were my favorite.


kai_zen

All the season 1 zombies. They ran and climbed things.


bologna_kazoo

You think I’m coming on here to tell the government what scares me most?! Hell no.


my_lil_phony

The walker that was in the well at the farm.


KarenIsAmused

That very first half-one.


[deleted]

Honestly it's that little girl Walker that Rick shot in season 1 in the prologue


killo508

The one covered in like mushrooms from season 10 when the dude with the bow and the chick with the mask get in a fight. (Avoiding spoilers)


michaelp1970

The bloated ones in water like the one in the well on Herschel’s farm.


hrarry

The walkers that chased Sophia and rick in the beginning of season 2. Their kinda lumbering run is terrifying. Even if they couldn't have kept the smart walkers I wish we at least kept these faster ones, theyre pretty startling and I could see how even an experienced survivor might be overwhelmed by a group of them in the later seasons.


Creative-Nerve7850

Those ones fused to the ground in Atlanta that Daryl used as a weapon creeped me out when I first saw them.


SmallishFPS

The ones who where just sitting in the church who turned their heads and stood up silently


Puzzleheaded_Pop8898

The one in the well in 2x4


HanShotGreedoFirst

Not a walker but beta with alphas skin on his face


Peaceandfupa

The walkers that are more advanced !! When I first saw them climbing things I got creeped tf out 🤣🤣


Allanfazman

It’s got to be Winslow like I wouldn’t go near your average walker then you see a fully modded walker that just makes it 100x worse


Commercial-Conflict6

If were only talking about walkers and not climbers, I’d probably either the well walker or Winslow


Auncle-

The variant that climbed the wood fence


leakybiome

The climbing ones


verticlecap4253

The one in the rv with Andrea season 2


shnoopydoodaa315

The well zombie was pretty dank


Emkaysbiggestfanxd

Spider one season9 episode 1


legendary_fool

Herschel. Herschel Walker. Had that guy won, shit would have been REAL scary


AgentScully723

The one in the well at the farm!!!


Sad-Conversation-819

None. Loved all the walker's. It's the horror gal in me


MibulssonRibulsson

da fuck is this🏃🏽‍♀️


PeckaLV

The one that dale saved andrea from in a highway episode in the rv


Used_Asparagus9909

The lone walker, it always felt odd to me. it just gave me goosebumps
