New Romero Zombie Film and Web Series!

Posted on by

Tina Romero, George Romero’s daughter, has two horror-related projects in the works…

The first is a web series she is creating in collaboration with horror icon, Tom Savani and Robert Tinnell (who wrote and produces the series).  Actor Jason Baker described the web series by saying…

“Imagine Oldboy shot as a silent film starring Lon Chaney Sr. It’s violent…”

This sounds interesting.  More info about the web series can be found at Bloody Disgusting: First Details On Horror Web Series Directed By Tom Savini and George Romero’s Daughter.

Tina’s second project is a feature titled Queens of the Dead.  Here’s Tina…

“Queens of the Dead is a fusion of two huge parts of my world: zombies and Gay nightlife. It’s a tribute to my father as well as my entrée into the genre he grandfathered. I can’t say too much yet, but what I can tell you is that this film will have all the hallmarks of a George A. Romero classic: farce, politics, heroes, ********, and most importantly, herds of silly and slow moving walkers that you can’t help but love. But I’m doing it Tina-style, and bringing the glitter, choreography, queers & queens.”

As we’ve previously reported, Cameron Romero, George Romero’s son is working on his own zombie feature, Rise of the Dead.

“The Monster Mash” Guy’s “Monster Holiday” Song!

Posted on by

Bobby “Boris” Pickett is best known for his cult classic hit, The Monster Mash.  Later than same year Pickett tried to catch lightning in a bottle for a second time with Monster’s Holiday.  Check it out below and I’ll see you after the video.

Obviously Halloween is a better fit for monsters than Christmas, but I was surprised that Pickett’s Christmas song isn’t better known.  If you’d like to learn more about Pickett and his songs check out The Monster Mash Guy… at PaleoFuture.
