While speaking with George Romero today about the "Tales from the Darkside" DVD release, I got a quick update on what's been happening with the still not officially titled ...of the Dead.

According to Romero, as long as no re-shoots are needed, the film should be done in March or April. Also, his long-time collaborator John Harrison has signed on to do the score.

Fans of the Dead should be familiar with John as he also composed the music for Day of the Dead along with Creepshow, several episodes of "Tales", and Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which he also directed.

Things are definitely on track for a release later this year of ... of the Dead. Keep it here for more as it comes

That's fantastic news!!

It's good to have an old-school Romero regular on board and Creepshow is one of my favourite movie soundtracks.

Harrison's Day of the Dead score was (and still is) fucking fantastic, it's the best GAR zed flick score out there, and the Dawn score was awesome too, so the Day score was really awesome.

I was writing a zombie script recently, and when I was starting off on it, getting my head into that space, I was listening to the Day of the Dead soundtrack over and over - superb stuff.

Okay, now that's just good news. The soundtrack in Day is, imho, the best of any Dead movie, and maybe the best of any movie period.

This is cool, I also agree that JH score from Day is totally fantastic. Funny how well I can "see" the movie in my mind when just listening to the score. However, I am puzzled about the "Tales from the Darkside DVD release"... wasnt this released a long time ago? I have it on DVD. Unless you are referring to the TV series, which I do not have.

Heh, I always listen to "The Dead Suite" from the Day soundtrack when I fly on a plane. It's just so great and eerie when that high up.

According to Amazon, season 1 of the TV series is being released on DVD next Tuesday, February 10th. :D

All right! Along with Carpenter, Harrison's another synth composer I'd be eager to hear from again.

This is most excellent news! Hooray!

I <3 Creepshow! So much that I even named my toon in WoW after the GAR/KING masterpiece.

And Day's soundtrack is the shit.
