The Camp 2026: Zombie School with Greg Nicotero – SUN 11a-12p

Step behind the scenes of The Walking Dead and into one of the most iconic (and secretive) parts of the show’s production. Welcome to Zombie School – the legendary “Walker University” where the dead are made.

Led by special effects master and executive producer Greg Nicotero, this one-of-a-kind experience gives you the chance to learn exactly what it takes to become a walker. This isn’t just a meet and greet. This is your transformation.

You’ll be guided through the same techniques used on set, from mastering the subtle, unsettling movements that define a true walker to understanding how different stages of decay influence posture, pace, and behavior. Greg will share behind-the-scenes stories from his years shaping the world of The Walking Dead, offering a rare look at how realism, performance, and practical effects come together to bring the undead to life.

But this is more than a lesson… it’s hands-on.

Under Greg’s direction, you’ll step into character, develop your own walker backstory, and put your new skills to the test in a live group exercise. Whether you’re dragging a limb, stalking your prey, or perfecting that dead-eyed stare, you’ll leave with a whole new appreciation for what makes these walkers so terrifyingly real.

Expect an immersive, interactive experience filled with insider knowledge, unforgettable moments, and plenty of opportunities to fully embrace your inner walker.

By the end, you won’t just be a fan of The Walking Dead…

You’ll be one of them.
