"From the screenwriter of the original 1968

Night of the Living Dead comes a shocking new wave of zombie mayhem to devour your dreams-and feed your nightmares . . .

THEY ARE WHAT THEY EAT It starts with infected needles. It spreads like a plague. Soon the town of Chapel Grove, Pennsylvania, is overrun with cannibalistic corpses. Some are taken down with a bullet to the brain. Others, torched like kindling. But a few have survived-inside a maternity ward . . .

THEY'RE EATING FOR TWO NOW

Detective Bill Curtis manages to rescue his pregnant wife Lauren from the ward in the nick of time. But the other pregnant women are not so lucky. Some of them have been bitten-and infected. Now it's anyone's guess what's growing inside them . . .

THEY'RE THE NEXT GENERATION But the nightmare isn't over yet. The infected mothers' newborns appear to be normal. But as the years go by, Bill and Lauren Curtis begin to worry about their beautiful, healthy daughter Jodie. Jodie is drawn to the town's ""special"" children, the ones whose mothers were bitten. They're reaching adolescence now. Their hormones are raging. And they're starting to possess strange appetitites . . .

If you thought millenials werea pain, just wait until you meet Generation Z.

John Russo wants everyone to know he's really nice guy even though he loves to scare people. He started it by co-scripting the 1968 horror classic Night of the Living Dead, one of the greatest fright flicks of all time, ranked #18 on the Internet Movie Database's top 100 Scariest Movies. (In a fine example of showmanship and multi-tasking, he also played a zombie in the film.) He also wrote the screenplays and/or stories for Midnight, Santa Claws, The Majorettes, Return of the Living Dead, Bloodsisters, and Inhuman. Mr. Russo has authored fifteen terror-suspense novels, including Living Things, The Awakening, Voodoo Dawn, and Inhuman. His nonfiction books Scare Tactics and Making Movies are considered bibles of independent filmmaking by film students and horror fans. Those who are not faint of heart will enjoy digging into this presentation of Midnight and Escape of the Living Dead. Mr. Russo resides in a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA. To his knowledge, none of his neighbors are zombies, though othere is that one guy around the corner who is rumored to have devoured the mailman a few years ago.o
