[Video] Morgan’s Insane Practical Effects Kill from “The Walking Dead” Last Night
Morgan Jones just became Jason Voorhees.
Last night’s episode of “The Walking Dead,“ the premiere of Season 8’s second half, was of course all about Carl Grimes, the episode documenting the final moments of one of the few remaining characters who’s been with us since the beginning. As promised, Carl was definitively killed off in the episode… but he wasn’t the only one.
We’ll never forget Carl’s heartbreaking final moments, that’s for sure, but there was another thing in the episode, titled “Honor,” that will remain etched into our brains.
On a mission to save Ezekiel, Morgan and Carol broke into the Kingdom and laid waste to a handful of Saviors, mostly using guns and Morgan’s trusty death stick to do so. But the most brutal kill of the night, well, it was at the hands of Morgan’s… bare hands.
Morgan went full Voorhees for his final kill in the Kingdom, reaching into one of the Saviors’ bullet wounds and literally RIPPING HIS GUTS OUT WITH HIS BARE HANDS. It was the sort of kill that AMC likely would’ve edited out if it was actually in a Friday the 13th movie they were airing, brought to life with classic KNB practical effects.
Check out the kill below, along with a behind the scenes “making of” video!
AMC announced today it has renewed Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire for a fourth season, and it’s officially titled Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned.
The news was announced during its Comic-Con International Hall H panel for The Vampire Lestat featuring series executive producers Mark Johnson and Hannah Moscovitch and castmates Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian and Sheila Atim.
Based on the beloved novel, Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned will be executive produced and showrun by Moscovitch, along with executive producers Johnson and Rolin Jones.
An accomplished writer and playwright, Moscovitch was a writer on the first two seasons of Interview with the Vampire and an executive producer on The Vampire Lestat, for which she specifically wrote the “Akasha” and “Gabriella” characters.
“In The Vampire Lestat, Mark, Rolin, Hannah and this extraordinary cast delivered an unforgettable season filled with propulsive storytelling that captivated the passionate and engaged fans of this franchise,” said Dan McDermott, Chief Content Officer of AMC Global Media and President of AMC Studios. “We can’t wait to continue the journey with Queen of the Damned, one of the most iconic stories in Anne Rice’s mythology, and watch our established and beloved characters confront Akasha with their world, and ours, very much hanging in the balance.”
The Vampire Lestat stars Sam Reid, Anderson, Zaman, Bogosian, Atim, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle and is executive produced by award-winning producer Johnson, creator, writer and showrunner Jones, Moscovitch, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.
In season three, Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rise, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
He awakens Akasha (Sheila Atim), the eponymous character of season four. Watch the teaser below.
All hail your new queen.
