- The first installment of the 'DEAD SAGA'. This film redrew the maps of horror cinema ever after. In influence it ranks with 'Rosemary's Baby', 'The Exorcist' & 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' yet it stands alone as the first to marry extreme realism with the horror genre. Read the article at the Internet Movie Database. There was a stunning remake which debuted cinematically in 1990 with some acclaim.

Seven disparate and desperate people, by Fate, become trapped in a remote country farmhouse and do their ultimate to fend off the advances of the flesh eating ghouls who are the recent dead somehow returned to life. Who will survive the 'Night of the Living Dead'?

- The second installment of the 'DEAD SAGA'. This tale catches up with the epidemic that is causing the recently dead to rise in their search for human flesh three weeks after it began in 'Night of the Living Dead'. 'Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.' the poet Yeats once wrote and this statement is nonetheless true here. Within three weeks of the crisis, contact with major metropolises such as New York City, Detroit and Pittsburgh have been lost. Human society and civilization is crumbling under the onslaught of reanimated corpses.

Four desperate people: one a news traffic helicopter pilot, one a television executive & two SWAT team members escape from the downward spiral of their lives in what is left in mainstream society in hopes of finding some kind of secure and safe haven to escape the armies of zombies and even their own fellow humans. They find an abandoned shopping mall and hold-up inside of it. However, there is no safe haven from the frailties of human nature nor is there any from the undead flesh eaters. As one character remarks (paraphrased), "This is a prison, too, only you can't see it because it is wrapped up in pretty paper."

- The third installment of the 'DEAD SAGA'. It is five years since the recently dead have begun to rise and seek out human victims to satisfy their need for flesh. Humanity is on the road to extinction with the zombie to human ratio at 420,000 to 1 leaving something in the neighborhood of 25-30,000 living humans on the Earth.

A band of scientists and military personnel have been moved to a secure underground facility to conduct experiments in hopes of finding someway to counteract or eradicate the living dead scourge, to save humanity and restore society. However, once again, the frailty of human character wins out over the more noble aspirations, however ill expressed, and the end is not bright. Or is it?

DUSK OF THE DEAD - NEWS ALERT! 02/09/02 CE

** George A. Romero's fourth Living Dead film!!: After the Fangoria show, Michael from Anchor Bay told me all about the fourth dead film, Anchor Bay is producing it. The movie is called DEAD RECKONING and takes place 30 years after NOTLD. The story goes something like this, the dead have taken over the world and humans only survive in large gated communities, the story is about one community and the fact they get to comfortable with their safety inside the community. The script was finished at one point but after 9/11 Romero decided to rewrite it a bit to reflect his own feelings after the event. (thanks to Mr. Robbie)

DUSK OF THE DEAD - NEWS ALERT! 10/13/02 CE

Great news, Dead Fans! George A. Romero's upcoming film that will complete the DEAD SAGA tentatively known as Dusk of the Dead but will likely be called Dead Reckoning due to some copyright issues regarding the previous three films. The above GoreZone.net link still works.

During the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors (Saturday, August 17th at the Pasadena Center in California) Romero said he is having promising negotiations with 20th Century Fox to make 'Dead Reckoning'. Romero stated that the film would likely be rated R for its theatrical release and the later DVD would be printed as an unrated version likely with more footage and DVD goodies. The film is said to have a budget of around $10 million, which would make it the most well budgeted and financed Dead Film to date!!

Let's keep our fingers crossed that this gets made. Other firms have pulled the rug out from under him at the last second.

The upcoming film's link redirects you to a 20th Century Fox site! It will change over as the site is developed with content so keep checking back.

DEAD RECKONING

In the meantime, if you haven't got any copies of Romero's films, go to the Amazon.com search box and buy them through there. They'll kick your old buddy Anubis a solid nickel and help keep him in Milk Bones!
