The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has always found ways to surprise fans, but Season 3 may have its most unexpected cameo yet. Horror legend and icon Jason Voorhees is not quite coming in with his machete, but a walker designed in his image will make an appearance. Yes, the infamous Friday the 13th killer is about to cross paths with the undead world, or well, at least in spirit.
Executive producer Greg Nicotero confirmed that a zombie styled after Jason will show up in the season, giving fans a nod to one of horror's most iconic killers.
Jason Voorhees gets a zombie makeover in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
The magic of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has always been in how it balances its own story with smart nods and tributes to classic horror. This time, Nicotero and his team are going straight for the jugular with Jason Voorhees. Instead of the actual slasher storming into Daryl's path, fans will spot a walker designed after Jason's look in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
What makes it exciting is that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has a long history of sneaking in horror references. We've seen walkers inspired by Freddy Krueger, zombies styled like George A.
Romero's creations, and even clever nods to cult films like Return of the Living Dead and Evil Dead. For Season 3, the Jason-inspired walker is yet another Easter egg for horror fans to catch and be excited about.
Where Jason fits into Season 3’s storyline in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon was released on AMC on September 7 and immediately threw Daryl and Carol into chaos. Their plan to head back to America was wrecked like quite literally, when a tsunami left them stranded in Spain. From there, it's been about surviving new enemies, strange landscapes, and of course, relentless walkers.
Somewhere in these seven episodes, the Jason-styled zombie will come into the picture, adding one more obstacle and one huge thrill for longtime fans.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 also brings up how AMC has already prepared for a Season 4 as the final season for Daryl and Carol, with eight episodes currently being in production.
However, the Jason tribute, then, is more than just a fun Easter egg. It's a reminder of how The Walking Dead universe has always paid respect to horror. And for fans who grew up terrified of Crystal Lake, seeing Jason being reborn as a walker feels like exciting times are back in!
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon's Season 3's Jason Voorhees-inspired walker might be one of its coolest surprises yet. It's not Jason swinging a machete in France, but it's enough to give fans goosebumps and a reason to keep their eyes glued to every frame.
With The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 4 already confirmed as the last stop for Daryl and Carol, Season 3 is stacking up to be both thrilling and nostalgic, pulling in horror icons as it races toward its showdown.
