“Give Life to Something That Didn’t Exist Before”: Tom Savini Shares Inspiring Message for Artists
While it can be a cesspool of negativity and cruelty if you’re not careful, social media is also a pretty wonderful place that offers us, for starters, unprecedented access to the filmmakers, writers and artists who have created the things we love the most. Where else but on Twitter, I ask, can you get some really great advice from Tom Savini during a quarantine?
Taking to Twitter last night, Savini shared a wonderful and inspiring video message to the students of his special makeup effects program at the Douglas Education Center, which is unfortunately on hold for obvious reasons. But the message isn’t just for his students but for all artists. The gist? Use this time at home, if you have the means and the time, to create.
“Give life to something that didn’t exist before,” Savini eloquently encourages in a video filmed in his workshop. “If you’re an artist,” he adds, “now is the time to flourish.”
Sometimes creation offers the best escape, and the beauty is that you don’t have to leave the house to create. Write that story. Paint that painting. Make that movie. If not now, when?

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
