[TV Bites] New “Walking Dead” and “American Horror Story” Clips, Grandpa Gets Bloody!
A bunch of small screen stories grazed the Web this morning, thus we’ll smash ’em together in this afternoon edition of News Bites.
First, we’ve uploaded a second clip from “American Horror Story: Asylum” Episode 02.02 “Tricks and Treats.” Airing Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 10pm on FX, an exorcist visits Briarcliff to help a troubled boy. Meanwhile, Sister Jude reveals a disturbing secret.
Inside we’ve added a Q&A with Scott Wilson, who plays the now one-legged Hershel Greene in AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” You’ll also find two clips from episode 03×03 – “Walk With Me”. In the episode, Andrea and Michonne find a new community of survivors — and a decision must be made. Watch the official promo inside and then tell us what you think of the season thus far.
Lastly, above we’ve shared a bloody look at Eddie Izzard as Granpa Munster in Bryan Fuller ad Bryan Singer’s “Mockingbird Lane,” airing Friday, October 26 on NBC as a Halloween Special. It is a reinvention of the 1960s sitcom about “The Munsters,” a family of “monsters” — vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein — and their “plain” cousin.
Veteran actor Scott Wilson explains how his beard helps shape his character and describes losing a limb on-screen in “The Walking Dead.”
Q: When you found out that Hershel was going to get bitten by a walker in the first episode, were you worried that was going to be it for him?
A: When Glen (Mazzara) told me they were going to chop my leg off, of course my first thought was, “Oh, there I go!” But just the opposite: He said he wanted someone with a disability and I understand that. It’s also very interesting that Hershel was the first one to have survived a bite. The question I think for Hershel is whether he is going to become a liability for the group. Is he going to be able to carry his load?
Q: What kind of prosthetic did Greg Nicotero fashion for the scene?
A: They did a cast of my leg, Greg Nicotero and his group, and that’s the leg you see a part of after they chop it off in Episode 1. It’s a pretty brutal scene; I got some responses from people who were really taken aback by it!
Q: How do you think this disability will change the character — and your portrayal of him?
A: He needs to show that he is combat ready and that he can contribute. His age and his life experience helps a bit. But I’m hoping right now that sometimes he’ll have a prosthetic.
Q: Hershel’s got a lot more hair this year. Whose idea was it to make him look so unkempt?
A: At the end of last season I decided that I wouldn’t cut my hair until this season started. So I started growing it, not knowing anything about how this season was going to start. I started letting my beard grow as well. I felt I could always cut it off if it didn’t work. But then I saw everyone involved, and they all liked it because they thought it showed a passage of time. It also shows that he has undergone a transformation since they were driven off his farm. So I think he’s coming to terms with his new reality. Hershel is letting his hair down, so to speak.
Q: Last year you told us about growing up in Georgia. Do you still have family in the area?
A: I’ve been visiting my mom, who’s in South Georgia. I graduated from high school there, and I try to visit as often as I can.
Q: How do you and the other cast members blow off steam when you’re not on set?
A: This year we’ve been playing a little golf. I have to say my game has been getting worse, not better.
Q: Who’s the best golfer?
A: I could make some enemies here! Andrew’s (Lincoln) game is really coming along. And David’s (Morrissey) got a good game, too. And one of the directors, Jeff January. His uncle won the PGA tour way back years ago. He has the sand wedge that he won the PGA tour with in his golf bag.
This week kicked off with the release of hippo horror movie Hungry at home, and four more horror movies have arrived for at-home viewing as we head into the final weekend of June.
Here are the new horror movies that released on Friday, June 26, 2026!
The Halloween season can no longer be contained to the months of September and October, with “Summerween” becoming a thing in recent years. Essentially, it allows for Halloween to bleed into the warmer Summer months, and the first ever Summerween movie has arrived.
The Asylum released Summerween onto Digital outlets today.
In the film from writer/director Ryan Ebert, “On Summerween, a former circus clown escapes a mental institution to return to his abandoned mansion and hunt the teens partying there.”
Cole Chapleski, Chase Breithoff, Logan Roe, Sophia Sabol, and Clint Morrison star.
Director Ryan Ebert is the man behind a string of recent indie horrors we’ve covered, including Shark Side of the Moon, The Jolly Monkey, Jurassic Reborn, and Predator: Wastelands.
A witchy coming-of-age story from Dark Sky Films, Camp is now playing in select theaters.
Check your local listings to find a theater near you.
Camp is from writer-director Avalon Fast (Honeycomb, The Serpent’s Skin).
“Emily is the root cause of two devastating tragedies very early in her life, and she feels the weight of these accidents as though cursed. At her father’s suggestion, she takes a position at a summer camp for troubled youth to ease her guilt. When Emily arrives, she is welcomed by the other counselors, who accept her as she is and surround her with peace and forgiveness.
“As Emily begins to believe in a new kind of life, she starts to hear a voice whispering from deep in the woods — one that urges her to go home, and one that may be impossible to ignore.”
The film stars Zola Grimmer in her screen debut alongside Alice Wordsworth, Cherry Moore, Lea Rose Sebastianis (Castration Movie Part 1 & 2, In A Violent Nature), Ella Reece, Austyn Van de Kamp (This Too Shall Pass), Sophie Bawks-Smith (Honeycomb), Izza Jarvis, and Aiden Laudersmith.
Producers Tyler Perry and Jason Blum have joined forces for Peacock Original Strung.
The film is now streaming only on Peacock.
“A talented violinist takes a prestigious job as a music tutor for the gifted daughter of an influential and enigmatic family. As she becomes entangled in their opulent world, unsettling secrets begin to surface, forcing her to question her safety, her dreams, and even her sanity.”
Malcolm D. Lee (Scary Movie 5, Space Jam: A New Legacy) directs from a script written by Alan B. McElroy (Wrong Turn, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers).
Chloe Bailey (“Swarm“), Lynn Whitfield (Jaws: The Revenge), Lucien Laviscount (“Scream Queens”), Anna Diop (Us), Coco Jones (Vampires vs. the Bronx), Langley Kirkwood (“Banshee”), and Romy Woods star in Peacock’s Strung.
Produced by Diablo Cody, director Meredith Alloway’s Forbidden Fruits brought a new coven of witches to the big screen earlier this year, and it’s now streaming on Shudder.
Lola Tung (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), Victoria Pedretti (“The Haunting of Hill House”), Alexandra Shipp (Tragedy Girls), Gabrielle Union (Breaking In), and Emma Chamberlain star in Forbidden Fruits, released by IFC and Shudder.
Free Eden employee Apple secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours. But when new hire Pumpkin challenges the group’s ‘girl boss’ ways, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate.
“Forbidden Fruits grabbed me by the neck the very first time I read it,” Diablo Cody said. “It’s one of the craziest, most creative, beautifully bonkers projects I’ve ever worked on.”
Meagan Navarro writes in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Forbidden Fruits may not necessarily forge new terrain in the teen satire space, but Alloway brings so much style and energy to her well-cast single-location stage play adaptation for the Gen Z crowd.”
The film is an adaptation of playwright Lily Houghton’s stage play Of the Women Came the Beginning of Sin and Through Her We All Die. Alloway and Houghton co-adapted.
This week’s new release roundups are presented by HUNGRY.
