Interesting that the seventh installment of HBO’s Westworld Season 2 is called “Les Écorchés,” which means "skinned" or "flayed." The term is usually associated with the anatomical figures presented without skin for educational purposes, one of which is used on promotional posters for the first season of the show. What or whom will be stripped down and exposed in this new episode?
Directed by Nicole Kassell and titled "Phase Space", the seventh episode of Westworld Season 2 premieres on Sunday, June 3rd on HBO. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates on season 2, and check here for our previous coverage of the second season, including interviews with the cast.

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
