The Walking Dead: Here's the Biggest Flaw with Winslow, the Metalhead Walker

While the first half of Season 7 seemed like a slow draw, the pace is beginning to pick up in its second half. Along with making this half of Season 7 much more entertaining, there were also a few moments in Episode 9 that'll have lasting repercussions on the remaining episodes in Season 7.

If you've sharpened your machete in preparation for another sexy teen slaughter, get ready for dive into development hell for the Friday the 13th movie that never was. Heading back to the noughties, were there any horror franchises that weren't at least teased a gritty remake?
