We told you earlier this week that the late George Romero’s daughter, Tina Romero, is working with frequent Romero collaborator Tom Savini on a new horror web-series that both she and Tom are directing episodes for, but now we’ve learned that she’s also planning on making her feature debut with a zombie film of her own!

In a chat with The Saunder Blog, Tina Romero (a DJ, dancer and filmmaker) laid out her plans for Queens of the Dead.

Queens of the Dead is a fusion of two huge parts of my world: zombies and Gay nightlife,” she told the site. “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, assholes, 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.”

The film is said to depict “the zombie apocalypse, seen through the eyes of the patrons at a drag nightclub.”

Meanwhile, Romero’s son George Cameron Romero is also working on a zombie movie of his own. That project is titled Rise of the Living Dead.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:
