It’s Halloween and if you’re celebrating, you’ve probably already plotted your costume down to the last ghoulish detail. But if your look for tonight got caught up in the zombie apocalypse, don’t leave the house until you’ve set off your costume with a trick that The Walking Dead’s special effects makeup artist Greg Nicotero uses to help create decaying ‘Walker’ skin. “I love is this time of year,” Nicetoro told EW.com. “In the last six or seven years it’s become an obsession with makeup and haunted houses. People do costume contests and I love that.” Ready to beat out the Honey Boo Boos and questionable ‘sexy’ costumes that’ll inevitably be out in full force? Let’s get started.

What exactly would Hollywood look like in the wake of a zombie apocalypse?
Walking Dead special makeup effects artist Greg Nicotero imagined ghoulish looks to die for straight from the show when he was tapped to bring Joel Madden, Extra’s Maria Menounos and The Black Keys and more over to the dark side for a Red Cross “zombie blood drive” campaign.
