21 Blink-and-You'll-Miss-Them Easter Eggs That Have Popped Up in The Walking Dead

Although we've yet to see any pets rise from the dead in TWD, the zombie drama still has a connection to legendary horror writer Stephen King. Before the zombie apocalypse hit, Rick worked for the Sheriff's Department in Georgia's King's County, which is named after the author. Original showrunner Frank Darabont happens to be close friends with King after working on the film adaptations of King's The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Mist together.
