While some people may be "over" the zombie phenomenon, there is no sign of it slowing down anytime soon. According to BBC and Deadline, the virus has infected the world of reality television and will soon be shambling onto screens in the form of a game show.

In a nod that fans of George A. Romero will be sure to appreciate, the show takes place in a zombie infested mall a la "Dawn of the Dead." The ultimate goal of the show, as with any zompoc media, is to survive the hordes until the Army shows up to rescue you. To make things interesting, if a contestant is bitten on the show, they are taken out of the game in a particularly gruesome manner. Here are a few more details via the BBC:

George A. Romero Becomes an Action Figure Thanks to Retroband

Thanks to a blog over at Mondo via XombieDirge, we learned that limited edition, first come first serve action figures of George A. Romero will be available to lucky ticket holders at the Alamo Drafthouse/Texas Frightmare screening of 1978s "Dawn of the Dead." Not only will the film's cast be in attendance but Romero will as well. Click here for details on tonight's screening.

More details from the blog over at Mondo, "We’re gearing up to head to Dallas for Texas Frightmare Weekend, but before we get to the actual con, we are making a stop in Richardson at the Alamo Drafthouse / Texas Frightmare screening of DAWN OF THE DEAD to release the very first OFFICIAL figure of GEORGE ROMERO with our friends at Retroband!"

Retroband consists of two talented dudes named Gabriel Hernandez and Aaron Moreno who according to the blog, are pretty kick ass in making "limited edition, hand sculpted, hand cast and hand painted figures. They design their own card art and package the figures in San Antonio, TX."
