Shudder-day: Creepshow- 'George Romero in 3-D'

 As we are in the last Episode of Creepshow so far, let's do each segment separately this time.

It is a fitting tribute to the man behind this whole Show (even if he didn't live to see it come to fruition) ...

In Pittsburgh, a Book Store is in trouble.

They don't sell online and are going to soon lose their lease.
They discover a box of unpublished Comics written by George Romero.
It turns out that this Store was built on Romero's old Production Company Building.

The sale of the Comics could save them, but there's a catch- the 3-D effect seems to bring a Zombie out of the Comic Book.
So now the ragtag group must get some help out of the pages of the comic itself.

Can Paper George Romero help them save the day as they throw in a half dozen homages to his Films?

To find out, check it out now.
A fun little segment.  The idea of this one is a weird one, but I'm here for it.

The idea of Zombies coming out of a form of Media is not new, of course.  A Film about them coming out of a TV is one I can think of right away.
I do like how they made it about Romero's allegedly-unreleased Comics.

Was that based on a real thing?  I'm too lazy to Google it, so...sure.

They have a fun time with the 3-D aspect and the idea of a Romero avatar.  I was worried about how that would come off, but the effect is nice and it is a loving homage.

The whole Segment is fun and great.  It sure beats other attempts to do Romero Films in 3-D...

A nice homage to Mr. Romero- as you'd expect.  A nice twist on a Zombie story, even in this condensed form.
