Rock and Shock is pleased to announce that after five years, the prolific and incredible godfather of modern horror, George Romero will be returning to the northeast’s largest horror and music convention on October 16-18, 2015 in Worcester, MA.
For forty some odd years, George Romero has put his mark on the scene. From 1968’s Night of the Living Dead right up through his ongoing Marvel comic series Empire of the Dead (which he is currently looking to write, direct and produce as a feature film), George has worked endlessly to bring us tales that terrify, horrify and nauseate. What sets him apart from many of his peers, though, and has kept him beloved in the hearts of horror fans for so many years, is his ability to give each of his films social relevance and a deeper level of relatability.
It is the story as well as the blood and guts that gives his movies that something extra and lifts them to legendary status, and the list of classics of this prolific filmmaker’s career is long indeed. For starters, there’s the critically acclaimed “Of The Dead” series (Night, Dawn, Day, Land, Diary and Survival). Martin. Knightriders. The Crazies. Creepshow. And don’t forget about Monkey Shines, The Dark Half, Season of the Witch, Two Evil Eyes, There’s Always Vanilla and Bruiser.
George Romero has earned his iconic status several times over, yet he is humble enough to shrug off that crown and will tell you he’s just doing what he loves. For that, Rock and Shock is honored to have George Romero return as a guest and hope that all will attend to meet this iconic legend of film.
