From 'Casper' To 'The Conjuring': Ranking The Ghosts From 'American Horror Story: Roanoke'
With more blood and guts than you could shake a pork kebab at, there was carnage and cannibalism over on #AmericanHorrorStory's sixth season. It was back to basics for the Roanoke chapter of #RyanMurphy's #horror masterpiece, and a good ol' ghost story with a non-family-friendly haunted house. With a body count higher than usual and literally no one making it out of the season alive, the characters are left wandering the astral plane as ghosts. Someone really should get Betelgeuse out to do some ghostbusting, but in the meantime, let's see how evil those Roanoke ghosts are — from Casper to Conjuring, who is who down on the farm?

If You Think Rick Isn't Planning Revenge Against Negan, You're Dead Wrong
This week's episode of The Walking Dead, "Go Getters," wasn't as eventful as last week's episode, but there's still a good amount of new content to go over. Between Maggie and Jesus unofficially taking control of the Hilltop and Carl taking a solo trip to the Saviors' compound, it was still a pretty good episode. Still, it was last week's episode that was much more important to the rest of Season 7.

Rollerskating And Romance: Does Love Mean Death For Carl And Enid On 'The Walking Dead'?
Ah young love — it's almost enough to make you vomit. If the end of the world weren't tough enough, #AMC went and turned #TheWalkingDead into its own version of Dawson's Creek with Episode 5's "Go Getters," a mushy teen romance for the ages. Listen up Scott Gimple, the only mush we want on this show is the mushing of people's brain matter. As the rest of the groups tear apart, it looks like Chandler Riggs's Carl and Katelyn Nacon's Enid are getting closer than ever.

Bro Way, Bro How: 'The Walking Dead' Shuts Down Daryl And Jesus Romance
Some people just can't catch a break in the zombie apocalypse, can they? Inbetween showrunner Scott M. Gimple splitting up couples with a wire-wrapped baseball bat, another budding partnership has also become a casualty of Season 7. During the the Walker Stalker Cruise in the Bahamas, one audience member yelled out their support for a relationship between Norman Reedus's Daryl Dixon and Tom Payne's Jesus. In attendance at the panel were Reedus, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and SFX guru Greg Nicotero, with Nicotero quick to shoot down the Daryl and Jesus romance by saying:

And tonight's episode "The Well" started with a lighter tone, as Carol delightfully met a character who will have a very integral part to play in Season 7. The character in question is King Ezekiel.
