This Year’s ‘Living Dead Weekend’ Will Be the Ultimate Tribute to George Romero
It all began in Evans City, Pennsylvania, the shooting location for George A. Romero‘s game-changing masterpiece, Night of the Living Dead. So where better to celebrate the life and enduring legacy of the late Romero than in, well, Evans City?!
From October 20 – 22, The Living Dead Weekend will take over Evans City, PA, and this year’s event promises to be the biggest and best to date. For starters, the convention will play host to the Pittsburgh premiere of the new 4K restoration of Night of the Living Dead, and a public memorial for George Romero will take place on October 22.
“LDW 2017 is a full weekend of events including Movie Screenings, Film Location Tours, Celebrity Appearances, Film Prop Exhibits, Community Events and much more! We’re inviting everyone to celebrate all things zombies and especially the film that started it all, ‘ Night of the Living Dead ‘ where it all began, Evans City, PA!”
Additionally, stars from Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead and even Land of the Dead will be on hand to sign autographs, including Lori Cardille, Howard “Bub” Sherman, Joe Pilato, Tom Savini, Russ Streiner, and Eugene “Big Daddy” Clark.
As if all that wasn’t awesome enough, Romero superfan Lawrence Devincentz will be taking guests on tours of Night of the Living Dead and The Crazies filming locations.
There’s even going to be a “Pet Walk of the Living Dead” and pet costume contest!

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
