5 Characters On The Walking Dead Who Should Be Killed Off

The biggest trend in TV drama right now is major character death. All of the big shows on TV are fond of killing characters that we all know and love, and The Walking Dead is no stranger to that, however, the show's main push is the amount of gore.

In 1992, he was selected to direct the third installment of the Alien series, kickstarting his career as a high-profile film director. However, with the commercial and critical failure of Alien 3, it took Fincher 3 more years before he'd release what is widely considered the first real Fincher film, Se7en.
