2. PLATINUM DUNES SPILL ON FRIDAY THE 13TH

Platinum Dunes' Brad Fuller gives us an update on the new Friday the 13th film — including that it WON'T be found footage after all! I don't hate the FF sub-genre yet, so that wouldn't have been a deal breaker, but I'm glad to hear that they are listening to fan feedback.

3. KIRKMAN TALKS FEAR THE WALKING DEAD

Robert Kirkman has shared some info on AMC'S Walking Dead spin-off, Fear The Walking Dead, including the series' place in the WD timeline. Prequel you say...

4. GEORGE A ROMERO/MARVEL ZOMBIE TV SHOW!

If The Walking Dead doesn't sate your appetite for shuffling undead on the tellybox, you'll be delighted to hear that Demarest is producing a TV adaption of Marvel's Empire of the Dead, penned by no-other than grandfather of the zombie genre George A Romero himself.

COUNT.

ME.
