Spoilers below. Obviously. As expected, every entertainment website on the internet is talking about The Walking Dead today, in the wake of last night’s mid-season finale.

The final strokes of this particular painting were revealed last night, as Season 5’s first half was neatly, and tragically, wrapped up. As a whole, Season

5 Things That Happened: The Walking Dead Season 5, Episode 7 — ‘Crossed’

After three weeks of side stories, all of them finally came together on this past Sunday night’s episode of The Walking Dead, which essentially picked up right where each of those episodes left off. ‘Crossed’ was another filler episode before the impending mid-season battle, though a handful of important things went down… 1) OUR HEROES

It’s never a good sign when a planned theatrical release is suddenly dumped to VOD outlets, which is precisely the fate that befell this latest effort from the ‘are you sick of us yet?!’ production company Blumhouse. Originally, Jessabelle was set for widespread theatrical release in January of this year, before being pushed back to
