People hold lights during a vigil organized by Nailing It For America for those who have died from Covid-19 and to "Stop Asian Hate" on March 4, 2021 in Fountain Valley, California. - Orange County community volunteers formed the message of "Stop Asian Hate" with luminaries as reports of hate crimes against Asian Americans have increased since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

George A. Romero passed away in 2017, but his legacy as one of the pioneers of the horror genre remains absolute—especially for what he did to the zombie genre with Night of the Living Dead. That is what makes the rediscovery of The Amusement Park such an exciting prospect.
