Devil Comes Down To Play Before George A. Romero’s Survival Of The Dead.

Listen up, my faithful mutants!  This Good Friday, April 2nd, at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, North Carolina, Mutantville Productions’ zombie short Devil Comes Down will serve as the curtain raiser for the Retrofantasma fundraiser.  But wait – there’s more!  This is a momentous occasion as the night will showcase a double feature of films from the Godfather of modern horror – George A. Romero.  Retrofantasma will feature an early showing of Romero’s latest zombie opus Survival of the Dead as well as the movie that started it all – Night of the Living Dead – all in glorious 35mm!

As you know by now – Devil Comes Down was a finalist in the American Zombie Film Contest hosted by George A. Romero right here in Charlotte, North Carolina!  Yours truly was able to share the news with Romero himself at the recent Horrorhound convention in Indianapolis. Romero offered his congratulations and was excited to hear about the early screening of Survival of the Dead – almost two months before it’s official release date.

To celebrate this occasion, Mutantville.com is donating a few items for the traditional Retrofantasma door prizes.  MVP’s contributions will include three issues of vintage Fangoria.  The featured stories include George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead, Tom Savini’s Night of the Living Dead remake, and in remembrance of the late Corey Haim – one issue covers the Lost Boys.  We will also give out one spiffy new G.H.O.S.T. t-shirt provided by Fast Custom Shirts.com and perhaps a few other knickknacks.

All proceeds will go to the Nevermore festival.  Please come out and join the Mutantville Players for a great night at the theater courtesy of the Carolina Theatre in Durham.  Be sure to join the fanpages for the Carolina Theatre, Devil Comes Down and Retrofantasma on Facebook!

See you Friday, MVP!
