Tina Romero’s camp horror film "Queens Of The Dead" follows a group of drag queens who come together with their community to survive a night of a zombie apocalypse is now available on streaming platform Shudder. The film stars Dominique Jackson, Katy O’Brian, Nina West, Jaquel Spivey, Tomas Matos, Margaret Cho & more. Filmmaker Tina Romero the daughter of horror icon George A. Romero takes the audience on a fabulous feature debut in this horror comedy loaded with fun & meaningful ideas by combining a familiar genre with a LGBTQ twist. Romero stated, “The idea of taking drag & queer nightlife & mashing it up with zombies, I was like, that’s delicious. What a delicious, yummy way to do a zombie film & also how special to be my dad’s kid & carry his torch & the monster forward into 2025. But to make it queer, it feels so right. Especially now in 2025, I’m so grateful that IFC & Shudder are putting this film out this year, specifically. If you make an indie film, you take it to a festival & it can take years to get it into the world. But, with the year that we’ve had & with the shit that’s going on in the queer community, specifically in the ways that we’re feeling erased & under attack & afraid, I’m so happy that this film, the vibe of it, isn’t bleak. It’s hopeful, it’s joyful, it’s fun. I just feel really happy that this can be out in the world right now.” Queens of the Dead was directed by Tina Romero & written by Romero & Erin Judge.
