Over 45 years ago, a young commercials director and his friends gathered in the Evans City, Pennsylvania area to shoot a low-budget horror film with a stunning social commentary. That movie, Night of the Living Dead, went on to achieve legendary status, as did its bold director, George A. Romero.

Taking his vast knowledge of the genre and fascinating stories of his filmmaking experiences on the road, Romero will be a guest late this month at Indianapolis’ Culture Shock, and it's now been revealed that about one month after that appearance, Romero will join the likes of Linda Blair, Michael Biehn, Linnea Quigley, and many more at the Monsterpalooza in Burbank, California.

Taking place March 27th–29th at the Marriott Burbank Convention Center, Monsterpalooza features a host of horror genre celebrities, artists, and more, with Romero slated to appear all three days. Tickets are $30 per day or $70 for a three-day pass. To learn more about Monsterpalooza, visit:
