Horror films are always given short shrift where Hollwood is involved. The Hollywood Walk of Fame features people like Paula Abdul and Claire Danes, but it hasn't given respect to a horror master who has been creating lasting nightmares since 1968, director George A. Romero. That is, until now…
Romero, who burst onto the scene with the genre-altering NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and went on to direct genre classics like DAWN OF THE DEAD, DAY OF THE DEAD, and THE CRAZIES (as well as less well-known gems like SEASON OF THE WITCH, MARTIN, and so many more), is finally getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
The star will be put in place in 2017, finally paying proper homage to the man who pretty much single-handedly created the zombie genre as we know it.
