Stabbed In The Back: How Negan's Saviors Will Be His Downfall On 'The Walking Dead'
As AMC's The Walking Dead comes striding toward its Season 7 finale, things are looking pretty peachy for Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan. The baseball bat aficionado looks untouchable as the king of the apocalypse and leader of his own cultish following, the Saviors. However, with the various communities of the #zombie outbreak gathering their resources and Morgan's well-built prison cell currently sitting empty in Alexandria, those who follow the #comicbooks will know exactly who is about to become its solitary resident.

Scott Gimple Teases Fate of Maggie's Baby in Season 8 of The Walking Dead.
AMC aired a preview edition of Talking Dead with Chris Hardwick which featured three guests as usual. Scott Gimple, showrunner of The Walking Dead being one of them was definitely the guest of most intrigue—especially considering what he had to say about Maggie's unborn child in Season 8. Here's what he had to say:

Will This Dead Character Return as a Walker On Fear The Walking Dead?
The Season 3 premiere of Fear The Walking Dead aired on AMC to an amazing start. The main group of survivors lead by Madison Clarke made their way to a seemingly safe compound of like-minded people, lead by Jeremiah Otto. Unfortunately, the Clarkes lost a member of their family trying to get to the Otto's compound: Travis.

'The Walking Dead' Episode 7: All 'Signs' Point To Trouble For Aaron And Rick
It was a game of two halves in Episode 7 of The Walking Dead's seventh season; it was a return to form as we finally saw Negan's stronghold, while the Alexandria group went scavenging beyond their gate, with more than one storyline woven together. Michonne went on a one-woman mission to infiltrate The Sanctuary, Negan aimed for world's Greatest Dad 2016 with Carl, and Rick and Aaron stumbled along a "sign" of trouble.

Time For A Change: Should 'The Walking Dead' Be Moved To Netflix?
Ever since the premiere of Season 7, I've fallen in love with the new characters and direction of #TheWalkingDead, but like all fans I have to put up with the same crap we're used to (like entire episodes dedicated to minor characters). The letdown is something I've become accustomed to, though. However, some fans feel this season has been a major let down and the ratings decline is showing this.

If The Whisperers Are Coming To 'The Walking Dead,' Could One Of These 5 Actresses Play Alpha?
Recently, a lot of rumors have been circulating that the upcoming group that is to be featured in #TheWalkingDead could end up being the iconic Whisperers. Though these rumors have been debunked by #ScottGimple, he did tell Comicbook.com that we might see them a lot sooner than in the comics.

The Walking Dead Season 7: Is Negan Truly Evil Or Is It All A Matter Of Perspective?
Warning: Spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere ahead. Well, that was an eventful season premiere. We knew that Negan was going to be an intense addition to the show, but I don't think anyone was prepared for the pure and unrivaled mercilessness that Negan would bring.

Everyone Is 'Axing' The Same Question About 'The Walking Dead' Season Premiere
Warning: Spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 7 "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be." It was all bloodbaths and baseball bats on the opening episode of The Walking Dead's seventh season; however, while some people were busy asking if Glenn's eye was going to pop back into place, or who will rock the handlebar mustache now Abraham is gone, others were asking:

Edgar Allan Poe 2.0: Black Mirror's 'Playtest' Reinvents The Haunted House Genre
Moving over to Netflix has clearly done Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror anthology a world of good – the horror-tech hybrid now finds itself a new home on the online streaming platform, bringing with it its A-list cast of familiar faces.

Is Jessica Lange Confirmed To Butcher The Competition On 'American Horror Story?'
Well what a week of American Horror Story that was – the big twist may as well have torn our heads right off, but the tone was certainly set for the "real" season of the show to begin. We had Sarah Paulson and her dodgy British accent, Kathy Bates sporting her American Realtor Realness haircut, and a whole lot of trouble heading back to the Roanoke house. In the words of Geoffrey Rush in House on Haunted Hill – "sure is a funky old house, ain't it?"

For Peters's Sake: Have We Seen The Last Of Evan Peters (Again) On 'American Horror Story?'
Well, Ryan Murphy definitely promised us a twist for the sixth episode of American Horror Story: Roanoke, but I don't think anyone was prepared for that whopper. While we're still in mourning over the loss of Evan Peters's Edward Philippe Mott from Episode 5, things looked promising when it was confirmed that Peters would be back in a different role. With a truly shocking week, did things fair any better this time round on the Roanoke ranch?
