Shudder To Release Lost George A. Romero Movie ‘The Amusement Park’

In 1973, genre icon George A. Romero made the film The Amusement Park, but it was never released, until now. Shudder is set to release the film this summer, Variety reports. The film was commissioned by the Lutheran Society, which hired Romero to make a socially conscious movie meant to draw attention to the plight of the elderly in contemporary society. However, after watching it, the non-profit group decided it was too gruesome for mainstream audiences and it never was released. Lincoln Maazel stars as an elderly man who becomes increasingly disoriented during a visit to a theme park.

This is not the only lost Romero project recently brought to
