The website known as Dark Universe has posted an interview with George Romero, as interrogated by gaming magazine Edge. In it, Romero says some interesting things about the new video game City of the Dead, which is based in his zombie universe, and talks briefly about his new film, the 4th in the Living Dead series, Land of the Dead. The interview is definitely worth a read if you even remotely like zombies, but then again, I didn't need to tell you that.

This could be quite possibly the best news the entire genre of horror has seen in the last decade: Quentin Tarantino, the Oscar-winning director of such as films as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and most recently Kill Bill, is in talks to direct the next entry in the Friday the 13th franchise!

In even more New Line news, the studio has recently announced that they have purchased the rights to the Phantasm phranchise, and are planning to relaunch it as a possible trilogy! Reggie Bannister, star of Phantasm and all of its sequels, has been chatting with a few horror sites and has made it clear that this relaunch is certainly a relaunch-and not a remake. Damn, this week has rocked for horror!

For those that don't know, Xombie is an incredibly cool web cartoon about a smarter-than-your-average-zombie zombie that protects a little girl from oncoming hordes of the lesser-in-intelligence undead.
