Long filming days have followed some cast members into sleep
Summary
– The cast members often dream about missing work
– Exhausting schedules have influenced their sleep
– George has reportedly dreamed about a headless zombie
The Walking Dead cast has revealed how the series’ demanding production schedule has affected their dreams.
During a conversation, the cast members discussed going to bed around 7 p.m. after long workdays. They explained that filming often requires early mornings, limited sleep, and very little time to recover between shifts.
One recurring dream involves being late for work or missing a call time. The cast described waking up in a panic after dreaming that they had failed to arrive on set.
The conversation also touched on how the zombie imagery has followed cast members and their families home. George, who has visited the set several times, has reportedly dreamed about a headless zombie.
Although the dream did not leave George frightened, it showed how strongly the production’s walkers and makeup effects can stay with people after filming ends.
Long hours and early call times are common on television productions, but the cast’s comments show how The Walking Dead’s demanding schedule can continue affecting them even after they leave set.
