Greg Nicotero cites the zombie homages as a highlight of working on \u201cThe Walking Dead,\u201d and the \u201cDaryl Dixon\u201d spin-off is adding another major horror icon to the list.<\/p>\n

Bloody Disgusting was on hand at Silver Scream Con over the weekend, where Nicotero revealed that \u201cDaryl Dixon\u201d Season 3 will feature a Jason Voorhees zombie.<\/p>\n

Nicotero notably worked on Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, but his \u201cDaryl Dixon\u201d tribute is based on Jason\u2019s appearance from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter from his old mentor and friend Tom Savini.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d previously featured nods to the works of George A. Romero<\/a>, Lucio Fulci\u2018s Zombie<\/a>, and Freddy Krueger<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n

The third season of \u201cThe Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon\u201d premiered on AMC on September 7 and airs Sundays through October 19, so keep an eye out for our boy Jason.<\/p>\n

Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride star as Daryl and Carol, continuing their journey home to the ones they love. As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the Walker apocalypse.<\/p>\n

The cast also includes Candela Saitta, Gonzalo Bouza, Hada Nieto, Yassmine Othman, Cuco Us\u00edn, Stephen Merchant, Hugo Arbu\u00e9s, and Greta Fern\u00e1ndez along with new series regulars Eduardo Noriega, \u00d3scar Jaenada, and Alexandra Masangkay.<\/p>\n

David Zabel (\u201cER\u201d) severs as showrunner, executive producing alongside Nicotero, Reedus, McBride, Scott M. Gimple, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, Jason Richman, Dan Percival, Steve Squillante, Silvia Ar\u00e1ez, and Jes\u00fas de la Vega.<\/p>\n
