On this past Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead (Twice As Far), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Rosita (Christian Serratos) and Denise (Merritt Wever) were ambushed and Denise was killed on the way back home to Alexandria by Dwight, the jerk who stole Daryl’s crossbow and bike in a previous episode, and his group. Dwight tried to use Eugene (Josh McDermitt), who they had grabbed, as a bargaining chip so that they could get inside Alexandria. What Dwight didn’t know is that Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) was hiding in the woods and had snuck up behind Dwight’s group. They had put Eugene on his knees. Eugene made a brave move, right out of the comics, he chomped down on Dwight’s dick and held on for dear life. Eugene’s act gave Daryl and Rosita the chance to take cover and fire on the group. Abraham mowed down half the men holding guns on his friends. Dwight limped away with a few of his friends.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a B-horror classic. The 1988 film is a fun and a bit cheesy. There have been talks of a sequel for a while, but nothing concrete. In a recent interview with The Movie Crypt Podcast Stephen Chiodo, the directer and co-writer of the original, explained that a TV series may be the right way to go. “Right now, we are currently pursuing a long arch series for cable. We wondered, should we do a sequel to the first one or do we do a remake? We came up with a “requel” – it’s a sequel and remake.
