TV: [Next On] AMC Previews “The Walking Dead” 02.08 “Nebraska”, Kirkman Talks Midseason Finale
I’ve yet to watch last night’s episode of “The Walking Dead”, but that was the midseason finale to the zombie series that will break until after the New Year (February 12). AMC released a teaser of episode 02.08 entitled “Nebraska”. Watch it inside and pine for 2012.
With an urgent spoiler warning attached, THR caught up with executive producer Robert Kirkman, who created the comic book series on which the AMC drama is based, to discuss Sunday’s “Pretty Much Dead Already” episode, how the death of one of the comics’ original characters changes the series as well as what’s ahead when the zombie drama returns for it’s “explosive” second half of its sophomore season in February.

What are your thoughts on the first half? What do you expect from the final 8 episodes?
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
