Trailer For ‘Night of the Living Dead’ Event For ‘Into the Dead 2’ Lumbers Online
Last week, John reported that PikPok’s mobile zombie apocalypse game Into The Dead 2 would be getting it’s Night of the Living Dead on with a special live event later this week on October 19th in celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary. And now, we have a trailer for the event.
Kicking off October 19, and lasting for one week, you’ll be making your way through a zombie apocalypse to save your family, as well as “uncover the hidden story and experience the unexplained events of the zombie uprising behind George A Romero’s cult classic film.”
With seven chapters to the game containing 60 stages, multiple endings, tons of weapons and challenges, it’s quite possibly the best send-up in video game form (so far) for George Romero’s classic.
Grab the game on the Google Play store or on iTunes.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
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.”
