Sleepy Hollow Season 4 Might Not Happen with Nicole Beharie's departure
Sleepy Hollow Season 3 just concluded with a massive season finale. One that left a tremendous effect on the audience and the series itself; unlike the highly criticized The Walking Dead Season Finale which took place this past week as well. However, the Season Three Finale of Sleepy Hollow concluded, leaving the series in a difficult place. By the end of the finale, Abigail Mills had officially been killed on the series, a new Witness would be named in place of "Abbie Mills" soon thereafter, and Crane was abducted by FBI agents. In it's entirety, the season finale lived up to expectations set in the season long adventure to put Pandora away, as well as The Hidden One, more recently. The most unexpected piece of the season finale was that of Abigail Mills' death. And the lasting implications her character's death will have on the series.

The character of Negan is introduced on The Walking Dead. Fans were abuzz for the highly awaited premiere of the season 6 Finale. Many fans were keen to hear from showrunner Robert Kirkman that the infamous character Negan would be introduced during the season finale of the series. Along with the television series following closely to the companion comic-book counterpart, fans were also keen to know that another iconic event happens at the time of Negan's introduction to the world of The Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead Season 6 Finale Recap: Who Took the Bat? DECODED

Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 15 Recap
Today's episode of The Walking Dead is hours away, Episode 15: East, which will build up the anticipation of the Season 6 Finale of The Walking Dead next week. The main group of survivors are deep in to the conflict with Negan's group of Saviors as the story stands, although Rick and company haven't come face to face with Negan yet, that will change next week or possibly today. Until then, we have to deal with the matter of Carol leaving, without telling anyone. The promo for Episode 15: East, shows Rick's group of Alexandrians leading a search party for Carol. Indicated in the promo, is the letter left for Tobin by Carol, stating why she's leaving. The letter gives Carol a somber goodbye to the group but Rick and co. still go out to look for her. Or it is probable that Rick receives the letter from Tobin after some activity outside of Alexandria indicates that Carol was attacked on her way out, and may be imprisoned by the Saviors or just in a troublesome situation. There's multiple reasons why Rick and co. go out to look for Carol, her letter to Tobin most likely said her goodbyes to the group and would have let everyone know not to go looking for. Trying to do the right thing and abiding by Carol's wishes, Rick and co. would probably stave off the search unless another unexpected set of circumstances reveal Carol didn't leave in a safe manner.
'Penny Dreadful' Season 3: The Real Dracula Has Been Hiding in Plain Sight All Along

The Walking Dead Season 6 Finale: Devastating Death Not Expected?
Showrunner and cast of the hit television series, The Walking Dead, have teased the introduction of a fan-favorite villain of the graphic novel series making his first appearance in the Season 6 Finale. Along with the introduction of said character, Showrunner Robert Kirkman has teased the "controversial" conclusion to the season 6 finale, hinting at a possible major character death before the end of the episode. SPOILER ALERT: Episode 14 of Season 6 on The Walking Dead saw the death of Dr. Denise Cloyd. Denise had become a series regular on the series but met her demise at the hands of Dwight, a member of the Saviors. Dwight has made a few appearances, and now looks to be a prominent member in Negan's band of Saviors. But Denise's death can't be considered a major character death, implying the death of a major character means the likeliest candidates to die in the Season 6 Finale are the characters who have been around the longest, then there's the characters whose graphic novel counterparts have died in events simultaneously taking place between the television series and the graphic novel timeline. However it needs to be stated that The Walking Dead television series has deviated from the source material of the graphic novels for which the television series is based on, and could completely take another direction when it comes to relatable events taking place on the television series. SPOILER ALERT: As made apparent in Episode 14 of Season 6, the scene wherein Dr. Denise takes an arrow through the eye by Savior, Dwight was portrayed slightly differently in the graphic novel companion. The graphic novel companion had an identical scene where the Saviors and Dwight attack, but Abraham is the one to die. Abraham takes an arrow through the eye, identical to the wound Denise takes which ultimately kills her. The difference in the graphic novel and the television series deviating in such a way presents some interesting repercussions for the remaining survivors, specifically for Abraham. With Abraham's graphic novel counterpart meeting his end, and his live incarnation played by Micheal Cudlitz avoiding his likely death; that puts Abraham's future at risk. Abraham has just made a drastic life decision to leave Rosita and approach Sasha because "life is too damn short". His arc on the television series is only beginning to develop which would put his death in Episode 14 at an inopportune timing on the program. Although deviating from the source material could be showrunner, Robert Kirkman's intention to throw fans off of his intention to kill Abraham in another manner. Abraham's death would be felt more deeply by the rest of the group if he solidifies his place in the group before the end of the season 6 finale, and then ends up being mercilessly killed by Negan or one of his Saviors. It's all possible and just puts Abraham's future up in the air.

Tom ChapmanPublished 6 years ago in HorrorHappy Horrordays: 'The Shining' Nearly Had An Even Bleaker Alternate Ending
"Heeeeeere's spoilers." While the years have been kind to #StanleyKubrick's #TheShining, it is hard to imagine a world where someone creates a sequel or a reboot to the 1980 classic. Even IT has been given the remake treatment, so The Shining will surely find itself on the slate for a revamp, but for now, we can sit in with a DVD copy and relive the #horror at home.

The Bible is pretty neat, there are magical gardens, plagues upon your enemies, and parting seas, however, what there is definitely none of is zombies. So, for #TheWalkingDead's showrunner #ScottGimple to start drawing comparisons between #AMC's apocalyptic #zombie show and the holy scripture may seem like a bit of an odd turn of events, however, in hindsight, it actually makes sense.
