Short Film ‘Dead Neighbors’ Imagines a Young George Romero Finding Inspiration for ‘Night of the Living Dead’

Published

This is the best thing we’ve seen all week. And you should really watch it too.

The late George A. Romero once said that he never thought of the ghouls in his Night of the Living Dead as being “zombies,” but rather they were “dead neighbors” to him. This quote inspired the team over at Fright Rags to put together a wonderful little short for the film’s 50th anniversary, which is fittingly titled, well… Dead Neighbors.

Running just under six minutes long, the short centers on a young George Romero, and imagines a scenario that implanted the idea for Night of the Living Dead into his young mind.

Not to spoil the fun, but keep your eyes peeled for a cameo from a NotLD star!

Face Your Fears in ‘Don’t Be Afraid 2’, Coming to PC and Consoles [Trailer]

Eneida Games and Cat-astrophe Games are following up 2020’s horror adventure title Don’t Be Afraid with the sequel, Don’t Be Afraid 2. The developers have released a new gameplay trailer, delving into the details of the sequel.

Don’t Be Afraid 2 sees you once again in the shoes of David, who is 15 years removed from the events of the first game. For years, David tried to pick up the pieces and deal with the damage the events left on him. Unable to keep a job, find a partner, or even handle simple daily tasks, he leads a pitiful life under the watchful eye of his therapist. Unfortunately, David’s past has caught up to him sooner than he expected, resulting in him now reliving the darkest moments of his life. David must now gather clues about his past and solve puzzles left behind by the deranged murderer toying with his life, trying to find a way out of a mansion where the line between dreams and reality is blurred.

As such, Don’t Be Afraid 2 features two unique endings. Will you escape or succumb to your fears? Can you deal with David’s past or will it break you? You’ll have to struggle your way through the horrors that endure in David’s psyche, navigating a series of sinister escape rooms, and uncover the chilling truth behind the nightmares.

“The original Don’t Be Afraid was much loved by a community, brave horror game fans that accepted the frightening challenge ahead of them,” says Krzysztof Szymański, Narrative Director. “Now, we propose an even scarier, and gut-wrenching experience not for the faint of heart. Will you have what it takes to survive? We can’t wait to see you try!”

Don’t Be Afraid 2 is currently in development for PC via Steam, Playstation 5, Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch.
