George Romero & Tom Savini
"My zombie films have been so far apart that I've been able to reflect the socio-political climates of the different decades. I have this conceit that they're a little bit of a chronicle, a cinematic diary of what's going on." — George Romero
Romero + Savini: Splatter Kings
George A. Romero is widely credited with reinventing horror—and Tom Savini redefined how it looked. In this ten-episode series, we trace the decades-long creative partnership between two of genre cinema’s most influential artists.
From NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD’s accidental revolution to the gore-soaked spectacle of DAWN OF THE DEAD, from forgotten cult curios like EFFECTS and KNIGHTRIDERS to the iconic horror anthology CREEPSHOW, this is the story of how Romero and Savini changed horror forever—together.
We dig deep into the making of each film, the behind-the-scenes stories that shaped them, and how their collaborations left a permanent mark on the horror landscape.
