The Terror Infamy

We're getting closer and closer to the onslaught of fall, but until then we still have a few juicy summer genre shows to keep us rolling the next few weeks.

Highlights this week include AMC's The Terror, Preacher and Fear the Walking Dead keeping the twists and scares alive; and The CW has its summer shows, led by the season-ish finale of the anthology horror series Two Sentence Horror Stories (this week's episode is the last proper new one, while next week's installment will be a compilation of web shorts). SYFY has a new episode of the action-packed space opera Killjoys, and Discovery has a new episode of BattleBots.
