DEBUNKED: Check Out The Exploding Head Effects That'll Be Used For THE WALKING DEAD Season 7 Première

Yes, we will indeed see that major character death in all its grisly glory when The Walking Dead returns for its seventh season. Does this special FX test offer any clues as to who meets Lucille?

The Walking Dead EP Greg Nicotero posted the following video to his Instagram account, and it gives us an up close and personal look at the effects that'll be utilized for the big death next season.

Fans were left very disappointed that we didn't get to find out which member of Rick's crew met a brutal end at the hands of Negan and his notorious weapon of choice, Lucille, in the season 6 finale - but it seems they're not going to shy away from depicting the poor soul's demise in graphic detail when we return in October.

Obviously they haven'y actually used the character's likeness for this dummy, but it is clearly a male with facial hair. Just saying!

UPDATE: Turns out this isn't from The Walking Dead at all, but the microwave scene from the end of the Last House On The Left remake.



Glenn is way ahead in the poll, but who do you think Negan killed?

I saw the scene from the comic. It's pretty brutal. It's gotta be someone from the van, no doubt. The whole episode teased the 1st person view and it started in the van. Only Darrel, Glen, and Michonne are loved enough from the group in the van. It won't be Michonne, because they'd never do that to a woman. They wouldn't even do the rape scene, so forget about it. She couldn't take the hit to the head and get back up, anyway. That leaves Darrel and Glen. Take your pick.

Quit guessing guys its Darryl you can assume that based on how weird he was acting on Talking Dead after the finale. Dude was practically in tears cuz he knows how crazy and emotional things are going too get. I think Darryl get the bat and Glenn tried too intervien and gets roughed up a bit.

Wells is probably Negan. The real Negan is the one who dies.

Obviously Rick and Carl are safe.

They've done too much set up for Maggie to become leader of the HillTop to kill her now.

Daryl is the face of the TWD brand and of most of their videogames. He's the reason why half the fanbase watch the show. He is too vital to the show to kill off.

Glenn dying is way too obvious. If you look closely at the POV shot of the victim, on the right hand side of the bat you can see the same Savior who stood behind Glenn throughout the whole thing. So it can't be him.

There is no reason whatsoever for it to be Rosita. It wouldn't have a big impact on the story and her character has only really started to develop this season. So it can't be her.

That leaves us with Michonne, Abraham, Sasha, Aaron and Eugene. I'm conflicted on which ones I favour.

On one side, if all the POV shots throughout the episode are from the same person - it has to be one of the four from inside the crate/truck. Ergo by my elimination, it must be Michonne.

On the other hand, when you rewatch the ending, Negan moves to the left of Rick as you can see by the shadow on Rick's face. So it must be someone on his left - Sasha, Aaron or Eugene. Finally when Negan begins his 'You can blink....' speech, for each of his three statements, he looks to his left, his right and downwards left. That means he is talking to members of the group on his left, right and someone close to the victim. As Eugene was on the end, it can't be him. When he says 'Anyone moves cut the boy's eye out...' he motions his shoulder to the right, implying Carl is on Negan's right. Yet Rick is on Negan's left. This means it is someone inbetween Rick and Carl - Sasha or Aaron.

So by this analysis, I'm going with either Michonne or Aaron. Michonne if all the POV shots are the same, Aaron by the camera angles. Though given all the editting the producers did in this episode, I'm leaning towards the former. The writers seem to be setting up Carol to take Michonne's role as future leader of the Kingdom, so Michonne is expendable.

Personally I really hope it is Michonne and makes the most sense. They can't kill a main character like Daryl or Glenn from a cliffhanger. Michonne however isn't as main of a character as those from season one yet is so beloved and a big character on the show that her death truly will have a major death.

I see a lot of people rule out all the women because Negan apparently doesn't kill women. This is false. 1.) Negan does kill women - he killed Holly in the comics. and 2.) In the show, he doesn't give his analysis of each potential victim by saying things like 'racecard' 'woman' 'mother and child' etc. So no one is safe.

Michonne's death would also give Carl all the reason to go after Negan on his own. It would rock the group's dynamic and take away a right-hand from Rick, so to speak.

So I say, and hope Michonne. But knowing the writers they'll cop out and kill either Aaron or Abraham.
