Due to unforeseen circumstances, I couldn’t properly wish Uncle George a very happy 70th Birthday on Wednesday. So, for George, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Here’s some video Q&A Footage from the Rue Morgue Festival Of Fear (and some viddy at the bottom from my brief introduction to the man). We here at BACKWOODS HORROR LOVE ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION. He is not only a pioneer in horror filmmaking, or zombie filmmaking, but filmmaking in general. He is a credit to the independent soul of the true filmmaking artist. Cheers!
George A. Romero Q&A
Dario Argento and George A. Romero Q&A
Meeting him myself at a local comic shop HEROES. Friggin’ awesome!
Those tea-drinking, queen loving bastards are at it again with their awesome editions of shit we in America would OBVIOUSLY appreciate more (though, more than likely, we’ll eventually get it…but I want it NOOOOOOOOOOOOOW). What am I ranting about? Oh, well, only a new special edition of DAY OF THE DEAD on Blue-Ray (with an added DVD for more special features). That’s right, the love that has been shown only to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and DAWN OF THE DEAD (I still drool over my Ultimate Edition black case of zombie lovin’), is finally coming to the classic DAY OF THE DEAD. This new edition for the 25th Anniversary (which Brits can pick up March 29th) is going to kick some major f-ing ass, and, once we in the STATES get it, well, it’s BLU-RAY time for the shack. Check out the article at Shoot For The Head for an in-depth look at what this sweet, sweet edition has packin’! LUCKY BASTARDS!
Ok, took a look at the new ...OF THE DEAD trailer over at Fangoria (see below). What can I say… this movie looks like it’s going to blow as much as DIARRHEA OF THE DEAD . Come on Romero. I love ya, I really do…but…you know…this is starting to get embarrasing. Check the trailer to see what I mean. Looks like a Sci-Fi Original. Damn, I really was hoping for a return to form, some last hurrah, but this thing looks like ass. DAMN!
Here’s a video where I meet George A. Romero for the first time. I’m a bit star-struck, I must say. Another video will be coming soon about what I got signed and how the experience kind of sucked really (NOT GEORGE’S FAULT).
