It has only been two days since we first broke word on the passing of George A Romero, the Godfather of the Living Dead and one of the TRUE Masters of Horror. But in this sad time, I wondered what some of the other current Masters of Horror had to say on Mr. Romero's passing.

I found many, many words of love spread over these here internets, but the ones that personally hit me the hardest were the words of Stephen King and John Carpenter. The two are arguably the top two names in horror now after the passing of Romero and Wes Craven.

Here are their words of remembrance:

Sad to hear my favorite collaborator–and good old friend–George Romero has died. George, there will never be another like you.

George Romero was a great director, the father of modern horror movies. He was my friend and I will miss him. Rest in peace, George.

Nice to see these men take the time to show a little love towards the man in the huge (stylish af) glasses that was Romero. King and Romero are, of course, most famous for working on CREEPSHOW together and I cannot think of a better collaboration in the world of horror than those two.
