John Carpenter has brought George Romero's underrated classic The Amusement Park to life in graphic novel form. The Amusement Park would have been released originally in 1975 as the zombie expert's fifth movie. However, the movie failed to find a distributor following its American Film Festival premiere. It was considered a lost film until its was inconceivably found decades later.

Per Cbr, John Carpenter Presents George A. Romero's The Amusement Park has just been released everywhere to book stores, comic bookshops, and digital libraries everywhere by way of Storm King Productions. Written by Jeff Whitehead with art by Ryan Carr, a preview of the graphic novel's on-panel artwork and cover art can be found directly below.

A hallucinatory nightmare from a master of horror, George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park is a once-lost PSA on age discrimination that Romero made early in his career, and it wasn’t until 2021 that the film was actually unearthed and released to the public. Now, The Amusement Park has been turned into a graphic novel by Storm King Comics!

Storm King Comics has released John Carpenter Presents George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park, an all-new artistic interpretation of the unique film that’s Now Available for purchase online, at comic book stores, and at book sellers!

Long thought to be lost, and originally conceived as a public service announcement, The Amusement Park is a surreal, haunting commentary on ageism and society’s treatment of the elderly, wrapped in Romero’s signature horror style. The George A. Romero Foundation, which is dedicated to honoring the life and preserving Romero’s work,...

Nearly five decades after its creation and long presumed lost, George A. Romero’s haunting 1975 film The Amusement Park is set to receive a rare theatrical screening and a new artistic adaptation. On 10 June, Los Angeles’ Vidiots cinema will host a special showing of the restored 45-minute film, followed by a live discussion with Storm King Comics founder Sandy King and illustrator Ryan Carr. That same day will also mark the official release of John Carpenter Presents George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park, a new graphic novel adaptation from Storm King Comics.

Originally commissioned as a public service announcement about ageism, The Amusement Park diverges sharply from typical educational fare. Instead, Romero applied his distinctive style to construct a surreal horror allegory examining society’s neglect and mistreatment of the elderly. The film’s dreamlike structure and pointed social critique remained unseen for years until it was restored by the George A.

"The Amusement Park" - See Romero's "Lost" Film on the Big Screen: "To celebrate the upcoming release of John Carpenter Presents George A. Romero's The Amusement Park as a graphic novel from Storm King Comics, the Vidiots Foundation in Los Angeles is presenting a rare opportunity to see the original film on the big screen.

On Tuesday, June 10, Vidiots will present Romero's original 1975 film, long thought "lost," followed by a conversation about the film with Storm King Comics founder Sandy King, The Amusement Park illustrator Ryan Carr and moderated by IndieWire's Alison Foreman. After the big-screen event, Sandy and Ryan will be available in the lobby to sign copies of The Amusement Park."

Shudder unearthed George A. Romero‘s long-lost The Amusement Park back in 2021, a previously unseen nightmare that Romero made back in the early 1970s.

Shudder is teaming up with SFX makeup legend Greg Nicotero on a brand-new horror competition series titled Guts & Glory. The upcoming competition show will feature six episodes where participants will compete against each other in unexpected challenges that flip the script on traditional game shows. The unscripted show promises to be an immersive horror experience involving SFX makeup and is expected to premiere on both Shudder and AMC+ later in 2025.

In a press release from AMC Networks, Nicotero described Guts & Glory as a mix of Survivor and The Blair Witch Project.The makeup artist expressed his excitement about what he believes is one of his most creative and organic projects. According to Nicotero, the show will include participants creating FX that have to happen in real time and capture honest reactions to their work. He also added several crew members from The Walking Deaduniverse who came together to bring the competition series to life.

Two titans of horror are joining forces in an unexpected but fitting tribute to a once-lost masterpiece. The Amusement Park, George A. Romero’s surreal descent into the horrors of aging, is being reimagined as a graphic novel thanks to Storm King Comics, with John Carpenter lending his name and backing to the ambitious project. The book is set for release on 10 June, bringing a fresh artistic interpretation to one of Romero’s most personal and haunting creations.

Originally filmed in 1975 as a public service announcement on elder abuse and societal neglect, The Amusement Park was shelved and presumed lost for decades. Unlike Romero’s better-known films such as Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead, this one was less concerned with zombies and more focused on a world that turns a blind eye to the vulnerability of ageing bodies and minds. When the George A. Romero...

Dark Sky Films has acquired all North American rights to the psychological horror Lilly Lives Alone from Yellow Veil Pictures, which will represent international sales at next week’s AFM in Las Vegas.

The feature directorial debut from Martin Melnick stars Shannon Beeby as Lilly, a traumatised woman who was the prime suspect in her young daughter’s death and has become a recluse who sinks into a world of drugs, alcohol and meaningless hook-ups.

Ten years after the death, Lilly is trapped in hallucinations when she meets Jed as the ghosts of her past strengthen their grip, leading to unspeakable horrors.

The worlds of horror will collide in a highly anticipated graphic novel debut this spring as two of the genre’s most iconic names—John Carpenter and the late George A.

A few years ago, George A. Romero‘s long lost 1973 film The Amusement Park was released through the Shudder streaming service in North America, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It was then given a Blu-ray release.

Exclusive: Dark Sky Films has acquired all North American distribution rights to A Desert, the Tribeca and Sitges Film Festival debut from Joshua Erkman.

The neo-noir horror hybrid is due to be released in the first quarter of 2025. Pic had its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival this past summer and the film’s international premiere at Sitges Festival this past week, where it won Best Feature Film in the New Visions category.

In this day and age, there are more films being made than ever before. It's easy to miss movies, so many audiences turn to sites like Rotten Tomatoes for guidance, though that may not necessarily have an impact on the box office. There's a common misconception about how that site works, though. The score given to each film isn't a representation of how good the movie is; instead, it represents the percentage of critics who would recommend the film overall. In other words, if half of all surveyed critics loved a movie and half of them hated it, the movie would clock in at 50% Fresh. That may not seem like a great score, but all it indicates is that a movie is polarizing; you might find yourself on either side of that divide.

With that in mind, the films on this list have near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes scores. That means almost...

Regal Cinemas is bringing Dawn of the Dead back to theaters for one night only on October 27th in celebration of the horror classic’s 45th anniversary.

George A. Romero’s 1978 film — a sequel of sorts to his 1968 project Night of the Living Dead — stars David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, and Gaylen Ross as survivors of a zombie outbreak who take refuge in a suburban shopping mall while mass hysteria wreaks havoc on their town. While in production, the project caught the attention of fellow horror filmmaker Dario Argento who agreed to co-finance the film in exchange for distribution rights in his home country of Italy. Having recently come to international acclaim with his magnum opus Suspiria, Argento’s co-sign on Dawn of the Dead also helped propel Romero’s success.

Dawn of the Dead was controversial upon its release for its use of violence and gore, though it...

For nearly as long as horror has existed on film, we’ve had George Romero movies to make it better. From inventing the concept of the modern zombie with Night of the Living Dead to his recently resurfaced gem The Amusement Park, Romero remains a pillar of the genre, a smart, bespectacled filmmaker whose work continues to influence others even after his death. My personal favorite, one in his vast catalogue of work, is 1982’s Creepshow, an anthology film featuring a host of scary stories, from jealous strangers to bizarre creatures hiding under stairwells.

Yellow Veil Pictures, the U.S.-based arthouse genre distribution company, has acquired North American rights to Belgian director Claude Schmitz’s deadpan detective thriller “The Other Laurens.”

The feature debut world premiered at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight and will have its North American Premiere at Fantastic Fest which kicks off Sept. 23 in Austin, Texas. Yellow Veil Pictures plans for a theatrical release in 2024.

“The Other Laurens” follows a private detective, Gabriel, who has been asked by his niece to investigate her father’s death. Gabriel must confront the ghosts of his past and finds himself caught up in a strange investigation mixing fantasy and drug trafficking.

“‘The Other Laurens’ stands beside films like ‘The Big Lebowski’ and ‘The Long Goodbye’ in melding a level of absurdism into Neo-noir, revealing something darker beneath the surface,” said Joe Yannick at Yellow Veil Pictures.

Yellow Veil Pictures has acquired worldwide rights to the erotic thriller documentary “We Kill For Love” ahead of its world premiere at the Overlook Film Festival.

The company is planning a domestic release later this year and will represent the film for international sales with a launch at the upcoming Marche Du Film in Cannes.

Written, produced, and directed by Anthony Penta, “We Kill for Love” depicts the long-gone world of direct-to-video erotic thriller, an American film genre that once dominated late night cable television and the shelves of neighborhood video stores.

“‘We Kill For Love’ is a home run for erotic thriller fans,” said Joe Yanick, co-founder of Yellow Veil Pictures. “It’s one of the most in-depth looks at genre cinema and serves as more than just a love letter but pushes the conversation and spotlights films that have often often lost out to their more glamorous theatrical counterparts,...

George A. Romero is one of my favorite filmmakers and a personal hero of mine, so while we lost the man in 2017, I’ve been glad to see the work the George A. Romero Foundation has done to preserve his legacy. That includes unearthing his long-lost 1973 film The Amusement Park, finding a home for his archive collection (featuring his 1994 short film Jacaranda Joe) at the University of Pittsburgh, and even setting up a podcast sequel to Night of the Living Dead. Now the Foundation has announced that they have located an unfinished short film that Romero shot in Pittsburgh in 1963, and they plan to complete it under the title Romero’s Elegy. They could use the help of Romero’s fans to do so, and are accepting donations at This Link.

It doesn’t sound like this short film was horror, but it was shot by one of our greatest genre directors.

In the wake of George A. Romero’s long lost movie The Amusement Park finally seeing release last year, The George A. Romero Foundation is now looking to restore another part of the late filmmaker’s legacy. “With your support, we can finish George A. Romero’s once-lost short film from 1963,” the team says this week, referring to a short film titled Elegy.

The Romero Foundation details, “At 23 years old, George A. Romero implored his uncle for a new Bolex camera. His uncle gave him $5,000 to purchase it. With his new friends, Russ Streiner and Richard Ricci, they shot a series of short films, all thought to have been lost. One of these films, now entitled Romero’s Elegy, was found and is being restored by The Garf.

“Romero’s Elegy is a 21-minute film shot in Pittsburgh in 1963. Shot without sound or dialogue, the original intention was to add music and poetry to it.

Horror films allow viewers to explore their most difficult emotions: not only fear, but grief, pain, and anger as well. Recent releases such as The Night House and The Amusement Park tackle several heavy traumas, but they still face some stiff competition from some of the greatest and saddest horror movies of all time.

Whether they are scenes of heroic sacrifice like in A Quiet Place or of senseless cruelty like in the original version of Carrie, there are many moments in horror movies that evoke deep sorrow rather than scares.

New York City and L.A.-based indie distributor 1091 Pictures, known for such hit releases as Taika Waititi’s “Hunt for the Wilderpeople,” Spirit Awards winner “Christine” and knockout comedy “The Overnight,” has swooped in on rights to all English-speaking territories for psychedelic thriller “To the Moon.” The drama, sold by Yellow Veil Pictures, marks the directorial debut of actor Scott Friend (“The Dark End of the Street”), who also wrote the pic and plays a lead role in it.

The movie, which is debuting its first poster in Variety, premiered last year at the online film festival Nightstream, and was in selection at the 2020 U.S. in Progress industry showcase organized by Wroclaw’s American Film Festival, which later hosted the pic’s international premiere.

Welp, 2021 was certainly a year. There was a lot of good (Movies! TV! Books! Random Horror Awesomeness!) and a lot of bad (pretty much everything else), but we made it to 2022, and I am excited for all that’s to come in the next 12 months (at least when it comes to stuff going on in horror). Over the course of last year, I think formally reviewed over 60 films, did interviews for at least 20 other projects beyond those reviewed films, relaunched Indie Horror Month in April, and even did a ton of other features and articles on Daily Dead as well.

Suffice to say, 2021 was pretty darned busy for me on the writing front and because there was so much content that I absolutely adored, I decided that for my favorites list this time around, I wanted to do things a bit differently because if I dive into every single thing...

If my shortlist for this piece is any indication, Hollywood adjusted to Covid just fine. I’ve put aside an average of 60-70 posters every year since I’ve been doing Posterized until barely hitting 40 in 2020. It wasn’t a dearth of quality work, but the fact that there were so many fewer releases to choose from. And since I base these columns on current-year US runs rather than when one-sheets start making their rounds, my pool of candidates was greatly reduced.

So either 2021 work was off-the-charts or the hybrid theatrical-streaming schedule found itself whole once again, because I was back to around 65. It helps too when you get new players on the scene, alt-posters too good to dismiss, and social-media controversy courtesy the collision of nudity and art that put more international designs into our American consciousness.

This has turned out to be a banner year for fans of the late director George A. Romero. First, there was the release of his long-lost 1975 film "The Amusement Park" and now his 1968 horror masterwork "Night of the Living Dead" has been faithfully remade in animation form by Warner Bros. and titled "Night of the Animated Dead." Voicing the small but crucial role of Judy (originally portrayed by Judith Ridley) is fan favorite actress Katee Sackhoff, who is best known for big sci-fi franchises: "Battlestar Galactica," "Riddick," "Another Life" and most recently "The Mandalorian."

The Amusement Park Dundee Contemporary Arts (Dca) has announced the line-up for its horror weekend Dundead Summer Camp, which will run from Friday 9 to Sunday 11 July.

Among the highlights is a screening of the previously unreleased George A Romero film The Amusement Park - which our reviewer says "won't disappoint" - while the festival opens with the UK premiere of horror-comedy whodunnit Werewolves Within. There will also be a preview screening of Mads Mikkelsen-starring revenge thriller Riders Of Justice and the Scottish premiere of documentary Alien On Stage.

In addition to physical screenings, some of the films will be available on Dca’s online streaming platform, Dca at Home.

Festival programmer Michael Coull, said: “After the last year, we’re delighted to be bringing Dundead back to Dca’s screens again, with a weekend of the best in brand-new horror, and one very special vintage treat."
