It looks like this month is going to have a whole bunch of Romero news. For awhile, I didn’t hear anything about the happenings of good old George, but these days, it seems like if I don’t hear something about him, then something must be wrong.

I just logged onto Twitter and saw this article posted from his Twitter account. Evidently, in order to promote Survival of the Dead, Romero and friends rounded up four hundred corpses to storm downtown New York.

Honestly, this sounds like an awesome zombie walk. Probably the best one ever. From the article:

The leisurely zombie walk took about an hour, which makes a whole lot of sense considering zombies don’t run. All moviegoers know they walk very, very slowly. Once they arrived at the theater, they walked the ‘Dead Carpet’ past a phalanx of photographers and were greeted by the film’s director, George Romero.

How cool is that? To end a zombie walk with a hand shake from one of the big heavies of the genre? Sounds like it was a blast. Check out the photos. Just a question … what is the Hulk doing there? :)
