Tina Romero, the daughter of late horror master George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead), makes her own mark on the zombie genre with the upcoming Queens of the Dead, and the official teaser poster has been unleashed this morning. Check it out down below.<\/p>\n

Here in North America,\u00a0Queens of the Dead will shamble into theaters October 24, 2025.<\/p>\n

In Queens of the Dead, \u201ca zombie apocalypse breaks out in Brooklyn on the night of a giant warehouse party, where an eclectic group of drag queens, club kids, and frenemies must put aside their drama and use their unique skills to fight against the brain-thirsty undead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katy O\u2019Brian\u00a0(Love Lies Bleeding),\u00a0Margaret Cho\u00a0(Fire Island),\u00a0Brigette Lundy-Paine\u00a0(I Saw The TV Glow) and\u00a0Cheyenne Jackson\u00a0(American Horror Story) star. The cast also includes\u00a0Nina West\u00a0(Drag Race),\u00a0Jaquel Spivey\u00a0(Mean Girls),\u00a0Tomas Matos\u00a0(Fire Island),\u00a0Quincy Dunn-Baker\u00a0(No Hard Feelings),\u00a0Becca Blackwell\u00a0(Bros),\u00a0Shaunette Ren\u00e9e Wilson\u00a0(Black Panther),\u00a0Dominique Jackson\u00a0(Pose),\u00a0Riki Lindhome\u00a0(Knives Out), and\u00a0Eve Lindley\u00a0(Bros).<\/p>\n

Shudder\u2019s Director of Acquisitions and Productions, Adam Koehler, said in a recent statement, \u201cWe\u2019re beyond thrilled to bring this wildly original vision to audiences\u2014a fearless, glam-drenched ride that\u2019s as funny as it is ferocious. With razor-sharp direction and a fierce cast, Queens of the Dead\u00a0is a thrilling new chapter in a legacy of horror royalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe zombie apocalypse is such a rich sandbox to play in when it comes to social commentary. I can\u2019t be my dad\u2019s daughter without making an attempt at saying something with zombies,\u201d Romero recently told\u00a0EW<\/a>. \u201cI did want this to be a film in which I am paying homage to the world and the monster he created, but I\u2019m also introducing my own voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romero continued, \u201cIt\u2019s very much not a film he would make, but it is using his vocabulary and is playing by his rules. As far as the queer element, on one hand, I just feel like the gays need a zombie film.\u00a0It\u2019s time that we get to have a big gay zombie movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
