The undead have officially taken over Yonge-Dundas Square, and they are restless.
"Arrrggg, this song really suck, play something else," groaned one blood-drenched young man, as a low and ominous bass track looped on giant speakers at the square.
He would only identify himself as "Ahhhh ... uuaaaaa ... arggg, rock on," before drooling a quantity of purple liquid onto his pants.
The shuffling, bleeding, oozing, army are in the square to honour George A. Romero, who launches his new film Survival of the Dead tonight at TIFF.
Romero took to the stage to thunderous groans shortly before 7 p.m.
"You guys are great," he said. "Where were you when we were shooting?"

All of a sudden people are saying these are a bit more important than I initially thought. I don't want them to be important. I prefer that kind of culty status, off in a corner somewhere. Were just at Venice with this film and I almost felt out of place."*****
As part of the celebrations Romero, who has lived in Toronto for five years, was presented with a statue of the CN Tower, clutched in a bloody hand. "I love it here, I have been here since Land of the Dead. I love the people I work with."

"These guys are great," he said to the group before pointing at a heavily decomposed man in a dark suit. "I recognize you, it's James Carville."
