Rob Zombie’s latest film ’31’ has just wrapped produnction and he’s not taking any time off. Zombie is teaming up Mila Kunis (Ted, Black Swan) to produce a new horror-comedy series coming to STARZ.

Get Out takes on the task of exploring race in America, something that hasn’t really been done within the genre since Night of the Living Dead 47 years ago. It’s long
