16 Set Secrets About 'The Walking Dead'

It's getting harder for TV shows to be smash hits in terms of ratings. The only shows that consistently get millions of viewers glued to the TV each week are The Big Bang Theoryand The Walking Dead. There's just something about nerds and zombies that people love! I don't know about you but I've become so desensitized to the blood and gore of TWD that I'll just watch each episode happily eating my dinner. Zombie guts and brains spilling out? Nothing phases me anymore! 

Besides the great special effects, TWD is amazing at cliffhangers. Fans always get riled up about who's going to die and who's going to be the next big bad. With Season 7 premiering soon, it's time to brush up on our facts about the show! Here's everything you need to know about the zombie apocalypse show!

1. The word "zombie" is never actually said during the show! 

They're called walkers, biters, lamebrains, lurkers, roamers, rotters and geeks!

2. With each season, the opening title card that says The Walking Dead "decomposes" more and more. 

3. The zombies have aged a lot since Season 1. Darker makeup is used to show the amount of decay between the seasons.

4. TWD fans can get very enthusiastic. One fan actually even bit Norman Reedus!

Uh... um... what?!
