‘The Walking Dead’ Pinball Coming Later This Month
Back in June, Zen Studios announced a collaboration with Telltale Games that would bring a very special pinball game based on their episodic series, The Walking Dead: The Game. The table looks about as genuine as it can get, as it’ll cover several locations that anyone who played the first season should be familiar with, including Clem’s treehouse, Everett’s pharmacy, Savannah and the motel. Perhaps the coolest part is the choice-driven gameplay — a staple of Telltale’s series. I’m not sure how that’ll work, but I’m definitely looking forward to finding out.
I haven’t played any of Zen’s pinball games, but I’ve heard great thigns about them, so I may need to change that when this game releases on PS4, PS3 and PS Vita on August 26, Mac, Steam and Xbox 360 on August 27, and Wii U, Android, iOS and Amazon on August 28. Sadly, there’s been no mention of an Xbox One version.
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.
