Call of Duty: Black Ops – Call of the Dead Trailer includes Sarah Michelle Gellar and Killer Cast

Who ya gonna call when zombies overrun a Siberian island? Well, it won’t be the Ghostbusters because they’re a little too tame for this kind of action. Kotaku recently revealed a dream cast (or is that nightmare cast) of zombie killers that are totally in their element when it comes to kicking butt and taking names.

Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street), Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead), and Danny Trejo (Machete) are playable characters in the new Call of the Dead storyline that was inspired by B-movie horror master George A. Romero, and the King of ‘B’ even makes an appearance as a set-light wielding reanimated corpse in this new game that seems to perfectly capture the spirit of Romero’s films. There’s lots of splatter, tons of gore, and plenty of cheesy one-liners to go around.

“This is Treyarch’s tribute to the legendary George Romero, who truly defined the zombie genre and whose incredible work has been such an inspiration to our team.” says Dave Anthony, Call of Duty: Black Ops’ Director. “It was an absolute honor to work with such an amazing and talented cast whose passion and energy brought their characters instantly to life. Fans are going to love this.”

Call of the Dead, part of the Call of Duty: Black Ops’ Escalation map pack will be available for the Xbox 360 on May 3rd for 1200 Microsoft points ($15). In addition to being able to throw down as Buffy, Freddy, or Machete, the pack also features four new multiplayer maps – Zoo, Hotel, Convoy, and Stockpile.
