The death of Amy was a very important scene of The Walking Dead, as it establishes the gravity of the situation the characters are in as well as setting the tone of the entire show. According to Emma Bell, the actress who played Amy, Nicotero placed a skin colored prosthetic filled with viscous red liquid and a hose on her neck which would burst when bitten and look like severed flesh.
