It Wasn't Always Easy Street: Norman Reedus Was Warned Not To Star In 'The Walking Dead'
As AMC's The Walking Dead returns as a ravenous corpse of walker wonder, fans are tooling up for the bloody "All Out War" saga in Season 8. With more bullets and bodies than every before, Dead Heads are on eggshells to see who will and won't make it out of the climactic brush with Negan alive. Promising some major cast departures, we're already tipping several of the ensemble to leave the season in a body bag, but please network gods, don't let it be Daryl Dixon.

Not Just Dead Air: 'The Walking Dead' Season 8 Trailer Breaks Its Own Record
As AMC unveiled its tantalizing trailer for Season 8 of The Walking Dead, we had elderly heroes, Daryl doing his best Sons of Anarchy impression, and our remaining survivors tooling up for war. With an Easter Egg-packed trip through the end of the world, it is no surprise that Season 8's trailer has dragged the show back from the grave and sent it shuffling back to the No. 1 spot of network television.

'American Horror Story's Season 6 Convinced Me: The Series is Totally Inspired by 'Resident Evil'!
This fall, many of us are turning to the FX Channel for another round of Ryan Murphy's deliciously creepy series American Horror Story. With American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare having premiered, an inevitable question began to itch at the back of my mind, and one that has arisen before with American Horror Story: Freak Show: Why isn't there a horror game out there based on this series yet? Why hasn't this horror genius that is Ryan Murphy even approached the idea?

La Marche Des Morts: 'The Walking Dead' Creators Tease The Show Moving To Europe
Sacrebleu, could AMC's The Walking Dead really be preparing to take us on a continental adventure? Consistently beating the competition in the big ratings race, Robert Kirkman's zombie apocalypse shows no signs of losing its appetite for undead flesh and disposable cast members. With jokes of 20 seasons coming our way, fans are likely looking to the future of the franchise, even as we prepare to enter Season 8.

How The 'American Horror Story' Finale Brought Drag Queens To The Mainstream
Not today, Satan, not today! The #AmericanHorrorStory finale slayed the runway with a siiiickening Season 6 sendoff and more than a few unexpected twists.

Is Danai Gurira About To Mich-own Another Character's Story On The Walking Dead?
While the seventh season of #TheWalkingDead may be more of a crawler than a walker, we have seen some interesting character developments in the first run of episodes. With Rick and Daryl all but broken at the hands of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's #Negan, it is time for the women of the group to step up. With Maggie, Rosita, and Michonne having bigger cojones than Negan himself, did Episode 4 show us someone tooling up for the impending bloodbath?

Hungry For Horror? HBO's Slenderman Documentary Brings Creepypasta To Life!
Considering we're inundated with films about Battleships, emojis and creepy Furby's, a #documentary created from a meme is by no means the weirdest thing we will be watching in our lifetime. And that is just as well, given that #Slenderman — the meme that has been doing the rounds since 2009, and lurking in our nightmares ever since — has just landed its very own cinematic production. Yup, #HBO is serving up a big ole bowl of #Creepypasta, just like momma used to make, and bringing us an all new documentary entitled Beware the Slender Man.

American Horror Story's Lana Winters: Is She Final Girl To Final Victim?
Buffy Summers, Ellen Ripley, Nancy Thompson, and Laurie Strode are just but some of the greatest final girls of pop culture, but what else do they all have in common? They all (at some point) met their maker at the hands of horror. Everyone's time comes, and with the return of Sarah Paulson as #AmericanHorrorStory fan-favorite Lana Winters — but is it time for the journalist to stop singing the name game and throw out her pen for good?

Dawn Of The Dread: 'The Walking Dead' Creator Is Bringing The Series To An End
While we all joke that it is the never-ending story of the zombie apocalypse, are Image Comics and AMC's versions of The Walking Dead both heading past their sell-by date? It has been a rough week for the show about humanity and hungry brain-munchers, and the bad news just keeps on coming. First Game of Thrones toppled TWD as the most-watched show on cable TV, then creator #RobertKirkman admitted that he has started packing his bags for the franchise's swansong.

Did 'The Walking Dead'Just 'Trump' The Election Coverage With Donald Trump Walker?
Just when you think you have heard the weirdest #DonaldTrump news possible in the run up to the 2016 election, #TheWalkingDead goes and waves a big, rotten, p*ssy grabbing hand in front of your face. Did #AMC's zombie-romp really include a Donald Trump walker? The bloated corpse with ratty hair and decaying skin can not only be seen taking to the polling booths, but also crawling out of the grass in Episode 3 of The Walking Dead's seventh season, "The Cell."
