Diary of the Dead preview
Director/producer Michael Felsher will be showing off a special “behind the scenes” preview at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors convention is Chicago this month. (We’ve blogged about Diary of the Dead before)

We already told you about the Day of the Dead remake and Diary of the Dead, but also planned are a Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things (remake), Dawn of the Dead (remake) 2, House of Re-Animator (part 4) and Resident Evil: Extinction (part 3).We’ll give you more info on the films as soon as it’s available.
