Storm King Comics announced its plans to release John Carpenter Presents George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park, an adaptation of Romero’s short film.
Long thought to be lost, and originally conceived as a public service announcement, THE AMUSEMENT PARK is a surreal, haunting commentary on ageism and society’s treatment of the elderly, wrapped in Romero’s signature horror style. The George A. Romero Foundation, which is dedicated to honoring the life and preserving Romero’s work, restored the film as one of its first projects, and discovered the result met with widespread critical acclaim.
“George A. Romero’s films are legendary. They already were legendary when I was just a student, and The Amusement Parkhas a fascinating history. This is a project that’s so important to his legacy as a filmmaker, so I’m glad to lend my name to it,” said John Carpenter in a press release.
John Carpenter Presents George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park is written by Jeff Whitehead, with art by Ryan Carr.
John Carpenter Presents George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park arrives on May 7, 2025.
