We are beyond thrilled to announce our next guest for this October’s Rock & Shock, the incomparable George A. Romero! From 1968’s Night of the Living Dead right up through his ongoing Marvel comic series Empire of the Dead (which he is currently looking to write, direct and produce as a feature film), George has worked endlessly to bring us tales that terrify, horrify and nauseate. What sets him apart from many of his peers, though, and has kept him beloved in the hearts of horror fans for so many years, is his ability to give each of his films social relevance and a deeper level of relatability. It is the story as well as the blood and guts that gives his movies that something extra and lifts them to legendary status, and the list of classics is long indeed. There’s the “Of The Dead” series (Night, Dawn, Day, Land, Diary and Survival). Martin. Knightriders. The Crazies. Creepshow. And don’t forget about Monkey Shines, The Dark Half, Season of the Witch, Two Evil Eyes, There’s Always Vanilla and Bruiser. Look at that body of work, friends. George Romero has earned his iconic status several times over, yet he is humble enough to shrug off that crown and will tell you he’s just doing what he loves. If you have never met him, he is one of the kindest people you could know. If you have, hopefully you’re excited to come say hello to him again. This is George’s first time back to Rock and Shock since 2010, and we are honored that he is returning!
