Students throughout the Springfield area are anxiously waiting because the third season of “The Walking Dead” ended in March and the fourth season won’t begin until October.

The show started with the story of Rick Grimes, a small town police officer in Georgia. Grimes wakes up to find zombies have taken over the world. He soon becomes part of a survival group.

The post-apocalyptic show averaged 11.4 million views per episode this season on cable network AMC, according to Free Republic. Springfield’s teens are hooked on “The Walking Dead” because they love the intense action and watching the characters develop throughout the seasons. Many joined the show later in the game, catching up online or with DVDs.

DVD sets of the seasons are available at Amazon or Best Buy.

“I watch because I enjoy the intense story it gives,” said Glenwood High sophomore Luke McAnelly. “(Zombies) were once people, and just like that all traces of who they were and just the human in general is gone.”

Luke is excited to see what happens in this coming up season, but is dreading the time in between.

There is nothing to dislike about the show, said Taylorville High senior Grant Hooper. There is a perfect balance between the drama, character development and zombie killing, he said.

Grant and his friends love to talk about the show during commercials and once it ends.

With filming on Season 4 of “The Walking Dead” now under way, we heard from Props Master John Sanders, who talks about the strangest items he’s found for the show and a new method of killing walkers that he has in store for Season 4.

Q: As the guy in charge of all the props, what are some staples that bear your mark?

A: The new crossbow for Daryl — I altered that one for the show. I took Norman [Reedus] to a bow range for him to shoot. I was kind of showing off with the guys there, and I was showing him some of the top-end crossbows. I let him shoot the Stryker 380, and once he shot that, he had me take pictures of him and had me send them to the producers, and immediately it got in the works that we wanted him to have it.

Michonne’s sword I actually helped design between Season 2 and Season 3. I used some friends of mine at United Cutlery to help me. I knew it was a huge piece in the show, so I wanted to make something really iconic and add some elements that are really closer to my heart. The triple goddess and the trinity of life; those things are important to me in my life and close to my wife.

Warning: If you do not want to know “The Walking Dead” season 4 spoilers, then stop reading.

The photograph shows crew members, but Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) are also seen on the set. It is being reported that next week the cast will be moving to another set. This one will be close to a wooden area and that the group will be searching for food. It was also said that three new members will be joining the group as a loose “outside the group” alliance.

This is some revealing information. First, if they are near a wooden area searching for food, then it either means that they had to leave the prison for some reason or they have run out of supplies.

Both theories seem possible. The Governor (David Morrissey) is returning in season 4 and he is set on revenge. He could attack the prison and he might be successful this time.

Something to remember is the statement that “the walkers are no longer a manageable threat.” So it seems that zombies could get into the prison – perhaps the Governor will be responsible or they could get in accidentally. Another theory is that the walkers are no longer manageable because the group is no longer protected by four walls. If they have to leave the prison for some reason, then they are out in the woods, fighting for survival.  Read more... (364 words, estimated 1:27 mins reading time)

Since filming has begun, be on the lookout for blogs that will be featuring photos from set! A good source is Walking Dead Locations. They already have several pictures up from what Looks like a military base set-up. Fans around the area have reportedly spotted Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Chad L. Coleman, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Danai Gurira on the set.

According to Allie is Wired, a plane crash will be occurring in this upcoming season. “In Season 3 we saw a helicopter crash that gave a Segway into the Governor’s debut,” the source writes. “Maybe this crash will give us an explanation to the aircraft we have seen roaming around Atlanta while Rick was searching for Lori and Carl.” Fans think it would be great it if this is shown.

Many fans are wondering what will become of the Governor, Robert Kirkman has this to say about the subject to IGN, “That’s certainly not the last that we’ll see of him. When we see him again and where we see him again, that’s the big question. It’s not going to be like it was in Season 3; it’s not going to be Rick and the Governor on a collision course with a conflict between them. He’ll be used in very different ways next season.”

“The Walking Dead” Season 4 returns to AMC sometime October 2013. Make sure to like us on Facebook at fb.com/sanysays and follow us on Twitter at @sany_says to see the latest TV spoilers and news on your newsfeed!  Read more... (321 words, estimated 1:17 mins reading time)

Warning: If you do not want to know “The Walking Dead” season 4 spoilers, teasers or fan speculation, then stop reading.

There is a lot of fan speculation for the upcoming season and one of them is how bloody it is going to get. If viewers are correct, then prepare to be shocked.

First, it has been confirmed that the Governor (David Morrissey) will appear, but how big of a role will be play? Will he be defeated quickly or will he be an issue throughout the season? He does want revenge and recent photographs on Walking Dead Locations show a military set-up at a Big Spot store and it has been teased that they will be in a wooded area looking for food.

What exactly is this military set-up? It has been teased that there will be an airplane crashed into the Big Spot store, but the type of plane has not been revealed or if it was recent or not.

This could be relate to Bob Stookey, who will be a new character on season 4. The Walking Dead wiki describes him as “a former army medic who resided in Woodbury for a long period of time after the apocalypse.” It has also been hinted that he will be haunted by his past. It is unknown if he is one of the people that was taken to the prison or if he went out on his own. Perhaps he was a member of the Governor’s army and pretended to be dead when David Morrissey’s character went psychotic and shot everyone.  Read more... (526 words, estimated 2:06 mins reading time)

The Walking Dead as a movie on the big screen?

It could happen soon, according to Chad Coleman who plays fan-favorite Tyreese on the hit AMC zombie drama.

Coleman, along with Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha) and Emily Kinney (Beth), have been promoted to series regulars, and, as such, the actor may have access to inside information.

Under new showrunner Scott Gimple, filming for season 4 of The Walking Dead has started in the Atlanta area and the first episode is scheduled to premiere on television in October.

Chad Coleman played Dennis “Cutty” Wise on HBO’s The Wire.  Another Wire alum, Lawrence Gilliard, Jr., has reportedly been added to The Walking Dead cast.

In case you tuned in late, The Walking Dead, based on a series of graphic novels by Robert Kirkman, follows a small group of survivors who are led by Georgia Sheriff Rick Grimes (British actor Andrew Lincoln) in a quest to try to find a safe haven far away from the menacing zombie-cannibal “walkers,” a.k.a. “biters.”

The Walking Dead is said to be most popular basic cable show in America and is part of AMC’s powerhouse Sunday night franchise which also includes Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

With regard to a possible Walking Dead movie, Chad Coleman made these comments: “As far as a Walking Dead movie is concerned, I think it should happen. I think it would be amazing… I think it would catch on like wildfire. I think everybody would love that just as well as they talk about The Wire movie … I really think a Walking Dead movie is going to be in the works not too far down the road, and I think it’s gonna just take ‘em by storm.”  Read more...

During this time Reedus spoke to fans about his career, favorite movies, and how much fun he was having meeting fans at Comic Con. Norman was a hit with the ladies as many sported T-shirts stating “got zombies? Call Daryl Dixon 1-800-1BADA$$.” As he signed autographs and posed for photos, Norman took time to tweet special drawings the younger fans drew for him as well as heart-felt fan letters.

Since “Walking Dead” is over for the season, Reedus plans to spend more time with his own production company, Big Bald Head. Norman has finished filming “Pawn Shop Chronicles” directed by Wayne Kramer. The movie chronicles what happens when a wedding ring goes missing, leading to a while-goose chase involving meth addicts, skinheads, and an Elvis impersonator. Paul Walker, Elijah Wood, Brendan Fraser, Vincent D’Onofrio, Matt Dillon and Lukas Haas round-out the celebrity line-up.

The line to meet Reedus circled around a caged maze and down the convention center. One group of girls waiting in line stated they had been waiting over an hour and had hardly moved through a row of the maze. The line to meet Stan Lee took up an entire section of the building.

Fans needed a lot of patience on May 18 as fans drove in; cars cluttered the roadways. Parking was downsized due to new construction next door. The convention just wasn’t prepared for that many people. The waiting didn’t stop with parking as the lines continued to grow just to enter the Suburban Collection Showplace.  Read more...

AMC’s hit TV series The Walking Dead is currently on location in Griffin, Ga., filming its highly anticipated fourth season. Luckily for the show loyalists who are itching for the latest info, a new picture has indeed surfaced.

If the recent photo from Walking Dead Locations is any indication of how Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the group are doing, it appears that situation won’t be getting any better.

Although no actors are present in the picture, the green military-like set up undoubtedly tips off fans on where TWD is looking to go moving forward.  The respective layout may be related to the debut of new character, Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.), a former army medic with a dark and disturbing past.

The picture of the location was snapped on May 13 outside of an old Walmart/Winn-Dixie parking lot that was transformed into a Big Spot for the zombie series.

According to a fan of the site, the filming of the respective location was said to be wrapped in just one day.

The Walking Dead will be kicking off its fourth season on Sunday, October 13 at 9/8 p.m. Central on the AMC network.

Keep checking back for more of the latest details on the popular zombie series.  A look ahead to Season 4 can be watched below.

The first round of the 2013 NHL Playoffs is finished and only one of four Canadian teams remains.

The water cooler talk is all about “who will I cheer for now?”

I can feel the season slip closer and closer to its ultimate finality and feel I’m left with only one response; I say watch whatever you can whenever you can, because when it’s gone we’ll have an entire summer to wait before it starts all over.

Ironically I witnessed my wife lament over the same predicament with her favorite TV show: AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”

Each season as it draws to a close she twitches into withdrawal, panicked with the lack of replacement options. I don’t hope for much sympathy from her as she watches the same happen to me – hockey teams headed to the golf course and the games become harder to find on cable… Next year I’m upgrading to the Centre Ice Package for sure!!

Warning: If you do not want to know “The Walking Dead” season 4 spoilers, teasers or fan speculation, then stop reading.

There are fans who are speculating that the group will be leaving the prison and will be searching for a campsite. The reason is unclear at this time, but it might have something to do with somebody betraying Rick or friction between the survivors. Remember, the group is much larger now due to the Woodbury residents being transported to the prison, which will increase the likelihood of people clashing.

Another reason for a campsite could be if the Governor ends up attacking the prison again. This might be likely since it has been said that the walkers are not longer a manageable threat and David Morrissey will be in the upcoming season. This means that both the zombies and the Governor will become a real problem, putting lives in danger.

If they are no longer a manageable threat, what exactly does that mean? Will a horde of zombies make their way into the prison? Could the Governor use walkers to attack Rick and the group? Or will they be forced to survive on the outside for some reason and will have to keep everyone, including baby Judith, safe from danger? A baby will only attract attention and if this happens, then her chances of survival are even more bleak.  Read more... (265 words, estimated 1:04 mins reading time)

The writer/producer, whose most recent éclat is as the man who developed cable champion “The Walking Dead” only to be unceremoniously forced out as showrunner ahead of its second season, was seated at a network media lunch in New York earlier this week to promote his forthcoming Los Angeles-set TNT noir crime drama “Lost Angels.”

He was energetic when he talked about the show’s appeal — “It’s noir on the TV screen, it’s so unlike anything that’s out there!” — and of filming in L.A. — “It’s very cool to shoot at City Hall on a Saturday. Nobody bothers you.”

But when asked what lessons he’s learned since his ruffled departure from AMC that he’s applied to his new cable home, the soft-spoken Darabont rested his fork on his plate and paused.

“I’m probably not able to comment on that,” he told The Times, only half-joking. “I will say it’s refreshing to be part of something collaborative rather than autocratic.”

So don’t even bother asking what he thinks of that baby alive and well on the zombie drama as it heads into a fourth season.

“I can understand why people think it’s only natural to keep tabs,” Darabont said. “But I’m like, ‘why on Earth would I want to?’ It was a very traumatic exit. I get very emotionally involved with my projects — you have to, in order to do great work. I always liken it to — I mean, imagine if the woman you love left you for the pilates instructor, invites you to their wedding — would you go? And then they give you a video of them on their wedding night so you can have them watch sex. It’s just too painful. Something unpleasant like that, you try to put behind you.”  Read more...

Season 4 of “The Walking Dead” is still a summer away, but that doesn’t stop zombie fans from drooling over what’s to come. Set photos and cast interviews have provided insight into the upcoming season, as well a potential “Walking Dead” movie. The zombie feeding frenzy never stops, and here’s what we can expect from the show’s future.

On May 14, set photos from the readers of Walking Dead Locations featured a scene from the upcoming fourth season that are sure to catch fans’ attention. The photos show several heavily guarded tents stationed outside of an abandoned Big Spot store with large trucks parked out front in a vacant lot.

Robert Kirkman said in a recent interview that the show would be moving away from the prison at the beginning of the season, so the photos could be a first look at a new pivotal location. Rick and the group are always in need of supplies, and now that the Woodbury residents have arrived at the prison, the need is even greater.

It’s very possible that walkers could surround members of the group while out searching for supplies, according to Examiner. Perhaps they find refuge in the Big Spot and set up camp while they wait for help.  Read more... (433 words, 3 images, estimated 1:44 mins reading time)

USA rolled out a pretty hefty list of new dramas in development at its upfront on Thursday (May 16) to go along with the two original comedies it’s picked up.

The cable channel says it’s ready to start production on “Horizon,” a drama from “The Walking Dead” executive producer Gale Anne Hurd that’s set in World War II. Written by Bridget Tyler (“Burn Notice”), it centers on a woman working at the FBI who stumbles on a top-secret project, code named “Horizon,” that could provide answers about her husband’s death. Needless to say, she also invites some trouble for herself with her investigation.

“Veronica Mars” creator Rob Thomas also has a show in the works at USA: “Blanco County,” based on a series of books by Ben Rehder. It’s about a retired baseball player who runs for sheriff in his small Texas hometown — one that he’s spent most of his life running away from — and wins.

Other dramas on USA’s slate:

- “Complications,” from “Burn Notice” creator Matt Nix, is about an ER doctor who is involved in a gang shooting and starts wondering if he can treat the causes of patients’ problems rather than the results.

- “The Arrangement.” Based on an Elmore Leonard story about a woman from Colombia (Stephanie Sigman) who enters an arranged marriage with an up-and-coming politician (Bryan Greenberg), with benefits for both of them. Cheryl Heuton and Nicolas Falacci (“Numb3rs”) wrote the pilot.
