'The Walking Dead' Wants Some Tongue Action With Season Finale Tribute Zombie
Greg Nicotero is sure showing us what a 53-year-old man with a penchant for zombies can do with his tongue, and it looks like the SFX on #AMC's #TheWalkingDead are ramping up the gore for the Season 7 finale. We only may be six episodes in to TWD's 16-episode run, but Scott Gimple and co. have already wrapped up what is sure to be another blood-soaked finale. SFX aficionado and horror legend Greg Nicotero posted a video to his Instagram to celebrate the end of another sickening season, but can you spot a homage to one of the great zombie films of yesteryear?

Season 7 Of 'The Walking Dead' Hits Screens Next October (2016)
We all pretty much knew this was going to happen — The Walking Dead will have a seventh season in the franchise. Since it first began airing in 2010, it's been a huge hit on AMC. Season 7 is to air around Halloween time, too, so the coming season could be even bigger and better!

Its' Not Easy Being Mean: Songwriter Loves That 'Easy Street' Was Used To Torture Daryl On 'The Walking Dead'!
It is a method I have used before — turning my speakers to the wall at 2am and blaring out S Club 7 as a way to torture my housemate. Now it appears that the lyrical version of waterboarding has made it into mainstream TV in Season 7 of #TheWalkingDead, which unfortunately meant that the season's third outing, "The Cell," saw things looking pretty bleak for Daryl Dixon.

Iron Maiden: Could Daryl About To Be Burned In 'The Walking Dead'?
Can you hear that? It's the sizzle of burning flesh on #TheWalkingDead horizon: but just who could be facing a light steam and press? #DarylDixon may well be in the "ironing" line as everything is looking a little grim for our resident Hell's Angel. Episode 3's "The Cell" was harrowing enough, but we can only imagine that things are going to get worse for the littlest Dixon.

Going 'Gaga' For 'American Crime Story' Season 3: A Fan Casting
We may not have reached the second season of the electrifying American Crime Story, but details are already flooding in about its green-lit third outing. Leaving behind the trials and tribulations of O.J. Simpson, there will be a passion for fashion in Ryan Murphy's third season of the anthology series.

'The Walking Dead' Fleshes Out The History Of The Show In Two-Hour Special!
If you are new to The Walking Dead — and binging on rotting flesh isn't really your bag — then fear not, AMC has the perfect solution to get you all caught up in time for the seventh season. The Walking Dead: Journey So Far airs on October 16 on AMC, offering those new to the show (seriously, where have you been?) a chance to catch up, or avid fans a refresher on how not to die in a zombie apocalypse. Expect it to be like a two hour Game of Thrones "In Memoriam," but with less bastards and more bullets.

AMC vs. The Spoiling Dead Fans Facebook Page - The Battle For Spoilers Just Got Bloody!
Who did Negan kill? Well we aren't about to find out anytime soon if AMC has anything to do with it, having just issued a cease and desist letter on 'The Spoiling Dead Fans' Facebook page. In a spoiler-laden world you have to either watch a show as soon as it airs, or go into hiding. You don't want to be that one person who said "they killed Ned Stark?!?" three years after everyone else. Whilst spoilers can be frustrating, there is obviously a market out there and some of us can't help but read ahead. The Spoiling Dead Fans may have started from humble beginnings, but rose from the grave like so many of Greg Nicotero's walkers to reach an impressive 363,000 followers. At the forefront of The Walking Dead community, it has become a regular stomping ground for those who don't want to wait until October to find out who met a grisly end in the Season 6 finale "Last Day on Earth." The page (and its fans) were shocked the other day when a representative of AMC got in touch saying that if they were to post any spoilers, or even theories on who bit the dust in this year's season finale, they would be well and truly sued by the network. We caught up with 'Shinyfirefly', our own TWD deep throat, to find out why the two sides have gone to war. It is Alexandria vs. the Saviors and only one group will come out alive!

Killer Casting: Should Connie Britton Return To 'American Horror Story'?
Cue spooky scratching sounds and "starring Sarah Paulson"- American Horror Story is coming back! There is certainly a buzz around Ryan Murphy's horror anthology series ahead of its sixth season later this year. Cast members of old and new are set to return — Lady Gaga is back for more Emmy Awards and there's even talk of Bradley Cooper joining the crew. One question on everyone's lips, though, is "where is Connie Britton?" The fiery redhead played matriarch Vivien Harmon on the first series, Murder House, but there has been no sign of the AHS alumni on the show since.
