For the season finale of the first “The Walking Dead” anthology series, “Tales of the Walking Dead” delivers an unexpected supernatural haunted house story set amidst the zombie apocalypse. Directed by Deborah Kampmeier (“Clarice”), “La Doña” follows a survivor couple – Eric (Danny Ramirez) and Idalia (Daniella Pineda) – as they make an eerie, candle-lit home their new place of sanctuary away from the undead. With the shambling corpses of the outside-world at bay, the duo must face off against a new set of horrors nestled within their humble abode.

“La Doña,” which translates to “The Lady,” makes use of cultural elements to set the scene for its chilling main location. Candles, crosses, Jesus statues, and other spiritual objects line every nook and cranny of the episode’s setting. Aside from Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam), the world of “The Walking Dead” hasn’t explored many other cultural and religious reactions to the rising of the dead.

Episode six of AMC’s Tales of the Walking Dead, the final episode of season one, opens with a couple standing in the dark. They’re in the woods and eerie screams and creepy whispers can be heard as they take off running.

Daylight arrives and the woman, Idalia (Daniella Pineda), makes note that Maria (a zombie) is still following them. She thinks she knows where they are and may know of a place they can stay, but just for the night. Eric (Danny Ramirez) wonders why they’d only stay one night and Idalia explains the woman who lives there is kind of a healer. She’s into spells and other mystical stuff.

It’s dark by the time they arrive at a gate surrounded by tall walls.

At just six episodes long, Tales of the Walking Dead certainly seemed to hope that its first season would leave us wanting more. But did it? Before you weigh in in the polls below, let’s go over the thrills and chills in Sunday’s finale, “La Doña.”

As the episode began, young lovers Dali (The Originals alum Daniella Pineda) and Eric (Top Gun: Maverick’s Danny Ramirez) sought shelter from walkers and the cold in the fortress-like home of the titular bruja (Julie Carmen). Though she was willing to let them stay the night, she wasn’t looking for long-term roomies,...

[Warning: The following contains spoilers for Tales of The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 6, “La Doña.”] Halloween came a little early on Tales of The Walking Dead, as this episode sees two survivors trapped in a haunted house. Idalia (Daniella Pineda) and Eric (Danny Ramirez) stumble upon La Doña’s home one night as they struggle to survive in the freezing woods. Idalia says they should go inside and see if La Doña will help them — apparently, according to one of their late friends, she was something of a figure of legend among those in the area. But La Doña appears to be very much alive, as a woman is there in the house who’s willing to give them food and shelter. But when Eric demands they be allowed to stay in her home for more than a night, his outburst causes her to choke and then hit her head on the corner of the table,...

Episode 6 of Tales of The Walking Dead will be the final installment for Season 1, and it looks like the TV show will conclude with a ghost story.

Already, viewers have been introduced to a prepper and hippy duo, as well as a naturist who felt the undead should be looked after and nurtured in nature.

In addition to this, a Groundhog Day episode saw one duo having to relive the same day over and over again in order to get things right.

Tales of The Walking Dead also took a trip down memory lane while exploring more of Alpha’s (Samantha Morton) backstory.

Finally, the penultimate episode of Season 1 saw Davon (Jessie T. Usher) having to unravel a murder mystery in a creepy town.

So, let’s take a look...
