It's FINALLY HERE, ladies and gents! 21 years after the release of the original game for the Playstation, Resident Evil 2 is given new life in a remake that is NOW AVAILABLE for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC! Telling the story and putting players in control of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, the survivors end up in a horrific nightmare as Raccoon City succumbs to a viral outbreak that sets loose zombies and bio-organic monstrosities. Much like the 1998 original, it's back to Survival Horror - except everything old is new again with new mechanics, twists to familiar themes, and a totally new experience worth reliving!

Set to premiere this fall and preparing fans for announcements and teasers to come this weekend with the San Diego Comic-Con, AMC's The Walking Dead has been spotted putting up a new banner poster for the eighth season that promotes "100 Episodes" of the series that have come and gone, with a collage featuring all the events and characters in the series that includes Rick Grimes, his fellow survivors, and their enemies. This comes courtesy of Twitter user Simon's Jacket, and it certainly looks like a true testament to the show - which airs its 100th Episode with the Season Premiere.
Also a special shout out of respect goes out to none other than George A. Romero - the "Father of Zombie Films" whose works like Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead inspired The Walking Dead and what we know as the modern zombie today. His zombies have appeared in TWD as homages by his proteges like Greg Nicotero, and we will never see another filmmaker as passionate and innovative as him. May this master and horror icon rest in peace.
Fans of The Walking Dead who are itching to see more of the zombie survival horror drama series are in for a treat. In an effort to garner new interest and harken back to the days of old school horror flicks, AMC will be re-releasing the entire first season and part of the second season in complete "Black and White" format. This was first attempted with the pilot episode "Days Gone Bye", where former Walking Dead showrunner and legendary director Frank Darabont brought on the idea for a complete "B/W transition" ala George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" - a film that greatly inspired the zombie genre as we know it today.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that the B/W reruns of The Walking Dead will start on February 14 next year. For more information, visit the source post at THR and Bleeding Cool.
The Walking Dead returns to AMC with the second half of Season 3 on February 10.
What would you get if you placed a zombie apocalypse scenario 50 years after the Cuban Revolution? That's where "Juan of the Dead" comes in, and everything about this trailer simply shouts "MUST. WATCH!" and "CAN'T WAIT!" to those who love the gore and genre! Check out the first trailer of what's looking to be an insane sleeper horror hit!

DAMN! HILARIOUS AND AWESOME! It's kinda like a spoof nod to George A. Romero's Zombie flicks ala the Simon Pegg and Nick Frost starring Shaun of the Dead, but this one adds a layer of grit and action that'll definitely make fans like me excited to see this in theaters or home video! Thanks goes to Slash Film and Latino Review for posting the trailer, so check out these links for more info!
I've been a fan of George A. Romero zombie movies since I was a kid, and until now, I still enjoy watching many of his classic 'Dead films from time to time, with the original and extended version of Dawn Of The Dead being my favorite among the bunch. His recent ventures into the world of the undead haven't been as notorious or gripping as his original "Dead Trilogy", and one has to wonder if we'll ever see that perfect blend of guts, gore, and social commentary many have come to associate with his works in the past. With today's advancements in technology and the dozens of other undead related tales that were ironically inspired by his works, many could already pull off their own versions of "Night Of The Living Dead" without consulting the Big Daddy of Zombie films. Yet, as someone who has seen all of his films and has an affinity for the source material, I am hopeful that Mr. Romero's still got the touch to bring more senseless violence and another case of the zombie threat into our lives through the power of cinema. Fortunately, he has a new project coming out sometime this year that may take his dead films back to their original roots. Title's a bit out there, but regardless of that, here's the film's poster:
Survival Of The Dead Poster
Originally titles as "Island Of The Dead", Survival Of The Dead is the sixth film in the Dead series and another entry of Romero that explores a whole new theme altogether amidst the presence of a zombie epidemic. Set in an island that's just off the coast of North America, local residents do their best to fend off attacks from the undead. However, each of them holds on to a desperate and unwavering hope that a cure can be found to this "illness", as several of their relatives are already members of the living dead. With a plot this twisted, it's only natural that George A. Romero is back to tell the tale. Check out the trailer(it didn't have an official title back then), and pray the film comes out very soon.

Recently shown in the Toronto International Film Festival, this clip from the movie can be aptly titled as "Zombie Fishing". This inspired the title of this post, and you may be wondering why so. Click the video link and see for yourselves.
