Shudder is teaming up with Tina Romero to honor what would have been her father George A. Romero’s 86th birthday with plenty of programming, movies, and terror, titled A Very Scary Unbirthday To George A. Romero.

The celebration kicks off with the release of the original motion picture soundtrack for Tina Romero’s debut feature QUEENS OF THE DEAD. The album is released by Blitz//Berlin, the JUNO Award–winning trio comprised of Martin Macphail, Dean Rode, and Tristan Tarr.

Additionally launching on February 4 via FreshKillz.com is official QUEENS OF THE DEAD merchandise, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Venus Pellagatti Xtravaganza House.

Later that evening, Shudder TV will program a special ‘Romero Movie Block’ beginning at 7pm EST, featuring THE AMUSEMENT PARK (1975), QUEENS OF THE DEAD (2025) and DAY OF THE DEAD (1985).

The block highlights George A. Romero’s genre-defining work alongside Tina Romero’s directorial debut, channeling Romero DNA through a bold, queer, punk lens.

Capping off the event, Fangoria will host a virtual birthday party on Instagram Live on February 4 at 9:45 PM ET. Fans are invited to tune in for a live conversation with Tina Romero and special guests from across the Romero Universe and the QUEENS OF THE DEAD cast.

QUEENS OF THE DEAD is currently available to rent or buy on all major digital platforms and is streaming now on Shudder and AMC+, with a Hulu release coming later in 2026.

With A VERY SCARY UNBIRTHDAY, Tina Romero celebrates not only her father’s towering legacy, but the living, evolving horror community he helped create—one that remains loud, inclusive, and undead as ever.
