The Official George A. Romero App of the Dead has finally been released “in anticipation of … ‘Survival of the Dead,’” which opened in arthouse theaters across the US last week (and is still available to view on Amazon On Demand and several other direct streaming options).

It’s Alive!

It’s what moms do. So, in honor of Mothers’ Day, here are five zombie movie [...]
