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.

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?

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."

Place Your Alpha-bets: Who Will Play The Next Villain On 'The Walking Dead'?
We may only just be getting to grips with Jeffrey Dean Morgan's #Negan and his "vampire bat" Lucille, but as you know well with #TheWalkingDead, there is always something much worse around the corner. How about a group who dress themselves in the skin of the dead as a way to blend in? Imagine the scene from Season 1 where Rick and Glenn (RIP) douse themselves in Walker guts, but 1000 times worse.
