Willard Wyler
- Voiced by: Paul Reubens (English)
A famous and reclusive B-Movie director who has fallen on hard times. Willard Wyler hires the main characters to act in his new picture, only to trap them inside of it in order to capture their gory deaths at the hands of the zombie hordes.
- Card-Carrying Villain: He is a shameless Sadist prone to Evil Laughs and megalomaniacal rants. This is downplayed later in the DLC season, where its revealed that he feels regret for some of his actions.
- Deal with the Devil: Made one with Mephistopheles when his career began to fail.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The main reason he became so distant from his daughter Winona was that she reminded him painfully of his late wife Alexandra.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Is trapped in Zombies in Spaceland by the main cast before the story's climax, although he later manages to escape himself.
- Ink-Suit Actor: Bares a resemblance to his voice actor, almost to the point of looking like an evil Pee-wee Herman.
- Mad Artist: A mix of this and Serial Killer; he lures in unsuspecting actors, conducts a ritual to trap them inside his films, all to ensure realistic performances and the goriest possible deaths.
- Promoted to Playable: Is unlocked as a secret character after completing the Super Easter Egg, with the in-universe justification of having been trapped in his own films by the main cast.
- Obviously Evil: Its likely that his famed eccentricity is the only reason none of his victims immediately realized something was wrong the moment they met him.
- Offing the Offspring: Killed his own daughter and her fiancé after they tried to start their own production company.
- Technicolor Magic: He makes use of purple-coloured Black Magic to trap people in his films.

- The Beastmaster: Overlaps with the Plaguemaster. He has control over all the rats in New York City, and uses them to spread the undead plague.

- Final Boss: Two Mammoths serve as the final fight of the main easter egg, but not the last fight of the story.
