Fun New Poster Reminds That SYFY’s Romero-Based “Day of the Dead” Series is Coming in October

They’re coming for you.

October 15, 2021 is going to be a HUGE day for horror, with Halloween Kills arriving in theaters and also coming to Peacock, and the brand new “I Know What You Did Last Summer” series coming to Amazon Prime Video. And as we recently learned, SYFY‘s “Day of the Dead” series – based on George A. Romero‘s zombie classic – will also premiere on October 15!

Check out a new poster for the series below, which comes courtesy of “Ghoulish” Gary Pullin.

Pullin said in a statement, “When SYFY asked me if I would like to create a limited-edition poster for their new series inspired by George Romero’s Day of the Dead, I immediately checked out the first few episodes they sent and I was pleasantly surprised. It also helped that my friend and fellow Canadian Steven Kostanski (“The Void,” “Psycho Goreman”) was in the director chair. With Steven at the helm, I had a feeling the zombie action was going to be insanely inventive, and I wasn’t wrong! The creative team at SYFY asked that some of their political themes were incorporated into the piece and they wanted the image to be bright, bold and have a sense of humour so we came up with the “zombie sun” concept. The rays gave me the opportunity to hide tons of easter eggs from the series. I hope George Romero fans check out the show with an open mind and have as much fun watching it as I did creating this limited-edition poster. Long live Romero!”

Ten episodes of “Day of the Dead” are headed to SYFY in October and beyond, with Steven Kostanski (The Void, Leprechaun Returns, Psycho Goreman) directing four of those episodes.

“Day of the Dead” is the story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion. This ode to George A. Romero’s famous flesh-eaters reminds us that sometimes all it takes to bring people together is a horde of hungry zombies trying to rip them apart.

Steven Kostanski had told Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast earlier this year, “[The series] does have ties to the original movie. I can’t go into too many specifics, unfortunately. I’m not really allowed to say much of anything.”

George Romero’s 1985 classic was followed by an unofficial prequel in 2005 as well as two different remakes in 2008 and 2018, none of which were able to hold a candle to Romero’s masterful work. Needless to say, there’s a pretty low bar in place for all things Day of the Dead at this point. Here’s hoping Kostanski and the team can raise it a little bit this year.

Scott Thomas and Jed Elinoff are the creators and showrunners.

The Top 10 Streaming Scary Movies of Today (According to Netflix)

Given that Netflix really is the master of their own data, how many times a viewer streams The Ridiculous 6, or what films don't get watched all the way straight through, or how many times someone watches an episode of Bill Nye Saves the World, it was easy for them to come up with the list based on just one percentage: 70 percent.
