10 Horror TV Shows You Must Never Pause
1. Another Terrible CGI Deer - American Horror Story: Apocalypse
Proving that The Walking Dead didn't solely corner the market on awful CGI deer, American Horror Story: Apocalypse offered up its own shockingly naff digital doe in the season's fifth episode, "Boy Wonder."
Near the start of the episode, Mallory (Billie Lourd) uses her extensive powers to not only heal a dead deer's wounds but also restore its youth. It's a swell idea but a complex effect for even a well-minted TV show to pull off, and so it's not terribly surprising that they bungled it.
The morphing effect from the adult to youthful deer looks, to be kind, like something out of a PS2 game, and doesn't hold up to even the most casual degree of challenge.
The effect was widely mocked by fans when the episode first aired back in 2018, roughly 18 months after The Walking Dead first introduced audiences to the deeply offputting horrors of a CGI deer.
