I write this with a heavy heart since I just found out that George A. Romero has passed away.
It is hard to be a fan of horror and not give a huge amount of tribute to Night of the Living Dead. The year it came out (1968), it shined against competitive films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes and Rosemary’s Baby. Black and white film was not too old at that time, but the way the movie was captured set a creepy nostalgia to the chills you felt. And it was zombies. Romero will always be the Godfather of Zombie films.

'The Evil Dead' Series Headed to Starz!
We had heard at SDCC this past year that an Evil Dead series was being shopped around. Aside from that and Sam Raimi's involvement, we didn't know much. Today we've found out that The Evil Dead has recieved a 10-episode straight-to-series order from Starz with a 2015 premiere! The series will be titled Ash Vs. Evil Dead and it will reunite Raimi with superstar Bruce Campbell.
