We lost one of the undisputed masters of horror this past weekend, as George A. Romero passed away from cancer at age 77. Romero is probably best known for creating the modern depiction of zombies in 1968’s Night of the Living Dead and its multiple follow-ups that includes 1978’s Dawn of the Dead, 1985’s Day of…

John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson stars in this adaptation Stephen King’s 2006 novel about people turned into violent zombies from a pulse through cell phones.

1959’s Ben-Hur was a highly acclaimed biblical epic, which went on to win 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Charlton Heston.
