George Romero is FINALLY Getting His Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

Published

Yes, we realize it’s insane he doesn’t already have one.

Back in August, a fundraiser was launched to pay for the Hollywood Walk of Fame star that the late George A. Romero was selected to receive prior to his passing; as silly as it is, these things cost a whole lot of money, and organizer Matt O’Neill hoped that Romero fans would pitch in to cover the ridiculous costs.

Unfortunately, that fundraiser never ended up raising its goal amount. But that’s okay, because we’ve just learned that Romero is getting his star this October!

Via Hollywood Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez on Twitter this afternoon, George Romero will be honored with a posthumous Walk of Fame star on October 25.

On that same night, Prospect House Entertainment, Glendale Arts and Chris Roe Management, along with George A. Romero’s close family and friends, will celebrate Romero’s life and career with The George A. Romero Official Tribute and Memorial.

Beginning at 7pm at The Alex Theatre in Glendale, California, the event will feature a Q&A with celebrity fans and friends, along with a screening of Creepshow.

You can grab your tickets from The Alex Theatre’s website.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
