George A. Romero arguably invented the modern zombie genre with the 1968 classic “Night of the Living Dead” but, fittingly enough, zombies turned out to be a Frankenstein monster, tromping uncontrollably across the pop culture landscape. There are so many zombie movies, TV shows, video games, comic books and novels now that it seems like everything has already been done. And maybe it has.
Tina Romero’s “Queens of the Dead” is a queer take on flesh-eating ghouls, set in the world of drag. And heck, even that idea is at least 30 years old. Did you ever see Kelly Hughes’s 1995 horror comedy “La cage aux zombies?” No? Well, I can’t blame you.
