The Battle of Winterfell, eight seasons in the making, graced our screens with dim lighting and tons of blood. While fans were squinting at their TVs, trying to find out who died and who was alive, we were 900% shocked, proud, and into it. If you’re still reminiscing on Sunday nights, here are some behind-the-scenes photos from the cast themselves while filming the iconic episode.
