Syfy Reminds You That The DAY OF THE DEAD Series Is Coming In October With New Poster!

Yesterday we told you about all the horror fun coming to Syfy in October. One show that we have our eyes on is the upcoming series based on George A. Romero’s classic flick, Day of The Dead!

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.

We do know for sure that this series ties into the Romero film.

Scott Thomas and Jed Elinoff are the creators and showrunners.

Here’s the trailer for the show as well as the new poster.
