New Screens, Details from Telltale’s ‘Walking Dead’ SSN 3
Telltale’s acclaimed episodic series based on The Walking Dead returns this fall for a third helping of impossible choices and emotional drama set against a harrowing zombie apocalypse, and this time, Clem’s all grown up. This fact is reflected in the limited edition poster for the series’ third season that was shown off at San Diego Comic-Con last week, with a more mature Clementine walking alongside her new post-apocalyptic pal, Javier — a subtle homage to a poster from SDCC 2011, in which she’s being protected by Lee Everett.
Unlike the first two seasons, The Walking Dead: Season Three will feature two playable characters, split between Clem and Javier. In an attempt to make the game more accessible to newcomers without alienating returning fans, Telltale has designed it so “players who are new to the series will have a chance to learn more about Clementine’s backstory, while at the same time, those who have played previous seasons will have a story that’s uniquely tailored to the diverging paths they’ve taken in the past.”
This approach can be seen in the cherubic face of AJ, one of the series’ newest additions and the son of Rebecca from Season Two. It’s going to suck when he inevitably gets eaten…
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.
