The Zombie Community obviously has a lot of legitimate grievances with George A. Romero; his highly influential and patently offensive series of Anti-Zombie ‘of the Dead’ films contribute a lot of the ugly prejudices still seen in our society today.

Yet he did also make ‘Creepshow’, one of the better Zombie movies, featuring, as it does, Zombies of Justice.

At any rate, February 4th is Mr. Romero’s 72nd birthday, and there will apparently be a bash to celebrate his birth at the Hollywood Theater in Dormont, PA. For what it’s worth the Hollywood sounds like an excellent indie film venue and community theatre, and I am a fan of the non-profit, eclectic programming model they use so I wish them the best of luck, and hope that some Zombie Friendly balance is brought to the public discourse on Mr. Romero’s birthday.

A little balance, we think, is not too much to ask.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Romero, from the Zombie Rights Campaign.

But please, next time, try to make a Zombie Friendly film, ok?
