Welcome to another horror round-up! To get your week started on the right foot, we have the first look at Judith O'Dea reprising her role as Barbra in the unofficial Night of the Living Dead sequel, Genesis, details on The Final Reel, the upcoming directorial debut from Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick, and a look at a new Puppet Master poster from Grey Matter Art.

Night of the Living Dead: Genesis: Since George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead is considered public domain, an unofficial sequel on the film is in the works, titled Night of the Living Dead: Genesis, in which Judith O'Dea steps back into the role of Barbra, giving us an idea of what happened to her after she was pulled through that doorway over 45 years ago. We have an image of O'Dea in the film below.

"Night of the Living Dead: Genesis will pay...

Origins. Re-Animated. Re-Animation. Resurrection. Mimesis. There are so many Night of the Living Dead themed projects out there right now, it's getting really hard to keep track of them all. Will Night of the Living Dead: Genesis rise above, or will it be another one for the fire?

Below you'll find some artwork and work print footage for the upcoming film, which was directed by Matt Cloude. The film itself stars original Notld star Judith O'Dea along with Sarah Snyder, Mike Lord, David Witt, Donna Gee Rousseau, Cyrus Samson, Christy Johnson, David Crawford, Jessica Dole, Jim Krut, Mike Christopher, David Early, Zombie #1 Bill Hinzman's daughter Heidi Hinzman, John Migliore, and Wade Brown.

With this film Cloude is looking to pay homage to the timeless classic while expanding upon its storyline to explore more of the night when the dead began to rise.

Look for more on this one soon,...

I thought to myself to be like Arnold would be the life and I’d love to do what he’s doing one day! Lol. My mother, Cathy Lyons Colletti, was a successful theater actress (also a produced playwright, published writer, and director) so I was around acting at a very...
