The Walking Dead producer mounts Alpha’s decapitated head on house’s front gates ‘to scare off coronavirus’

THE Walking Dead boss has mounted Alpha's bloodied head on his gate in a bid to "scare off" the killer coronavirus bug.

Greg Nicotero shared his novel social distancing measures on his Instagram page, with his followers learning it was not only Alpha on show - with a total of six skulls raided from the hit programme's store cupboard.

The producer's home decorations were hailed "epic" by fans, who were treated to the exact detail of the horrifying figures mounted onto the imposing grey gate.

Greg proudly wrote in his caption: "Decorating the gate at my house!

"Sure to scare any virus away.

"And if you’re curious 1. Alpha 2. Bicycle Girl 3. Female walker Carl killed in the farmhouse in ep 301 AND one of the Governor’s fish tank heads."

Explaining the remaining three fearful faces, he added: "4. Michonne pet 1 5. Ben Gardner Governor fish tank head 6. Michonne pet number 2."

When looking at the image Alpha is seen at the far right, with her mouth open and blood pouring from her neck.

With social distancing and lockdown measures still in place in the US, it could well serve as a deterrent for eager show fans hoping to pay a visit to Greg, or sneak a glimpse at his home.

One posted under the shock snap: "Anyone else and you’d think this quarantine was getting to them but it’s Greg. That’s just a regular Saturday. Love it, man."

Another mused: "Imagine being his neighbor and seeing that."

One then gushed: "Best gate decoration I’ve seen!!"

A fan then surmised: "Your Halloween decorations must be lit! Omg that’s epic."

The grim display will hopefully help partially quell viewers' anticipation for the series 10 finale too, something which has been delayed in post production due to coronavirus.

Despite the show hold-ups, show runner Angela King has told how work is underway on season 11.

She said: "We're continuing to work on the future season remotely.
"Writing, I think, is the easiest process to do remotely, and even that is a little... it's tricky.

"We're not quite able to work at the same exact pace as we would when we're in the office."
