PopHorror Let's Get Scared
George Romero fans, rejoice! Syfy is releasing Day of the Dead, a limited series just in time for spooky season viewing. Ahead of the release, award-winning artist “Ghoulish” Gary Pullin designed a poster exclusively for the series. Let’s take a look at the series, poster and trailer!
Day of the Dead synopsis:
SYFY’s Day of the Dead is the intense 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.
Ghoulish Gary on working with SYFY for this custom poster:
“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’s 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 humor, 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!”
Additionally, the series will be partnering with local comic shops across the US throughout October, where each shop will be running giveaways unique to their shop fanbase.
Giveaway prizing includes gift cards, a SYFY Day of the Dead t-shirt and a custom signed limited edition SYFY Ghoulish Gary Day of the Dead poster.
Let’s check out the trailer!
