Background: Laurel Entertainment, Inc. (formerly "The Laurel Group") was formed in 1977 by George A. Romero and Richard P. Rubinstein when they originally produced low-budget sci-fi and thriller movies. Laurel Entertainment later entered television production in 1983 with the series Tales from the Darkside. Romero left the partnership in 1985 and Rubinstein continued running the company. In 1988, Rubinstein merged Laurel Entertainment with Aaron Spelling Productions and became part of "Spelling, Inc.". Laurel Entertainment was folded into Spelling Television in 1995. The television library is currently held by CBS Corporation through CBS Television Distribution and Spelling Television, Inc. However, the films produced by Laurel are owned by other companies: Martin (1977 movie), Day of the Dead (1985 movie), and Creepshow 2 are controlled by Anchor Bay Entertainment/Starz Distribution and Creepshow is owned by Warner Bros. Pictures.▼
