In an interview with Daniel Kraus is still working on Romero's unfinished The Living Dead novel, she also teased that horror fans could potentially see some of his films get developed some day. Desrocher further explained, "He loved to write, and we have 40, 50 scripts that he's written, and a lot of it is very good. He had a lot to say, and he still does, because I'm gonna make sure that he does. It's my mission".
It was previously reported that there were a prequel to Night of the Living Dead which will be called Rise of the Living Dead.
Even though Romero ed away over a year ago, his work continues to impact the horror genre. Many movies and TV programs such as AMC's Get Out took a page out of Romero's playbook by mixing horror with satire about American society. Romero's work will truly live on forever, especially if other filmmakers develop movies using his scripts. Regardless of whether these films ever see the light of day, horror fans will surely be relieved that the possibility still exists.
