In 2006, Savini essayed the role of Prester John, the mythical villain in the dreamlike Sea of Dust. 2006 also saw the release of Johannes Roberts' Demonic (a.k.a. Forest of the Damned), in which Savini played a mad hermit surrounded by angels cast from heaven. In 2007, Savini took on a role in Planet Terror, one of two stories in the film Grindhouse. "Planet Terror" was directed by Robert Rodriguez; the other story, Death Proof was directed by Quentin Tarantino. He plays Deputy Tolo, who tries to save his town from an infestation of zombies. In 2008, Savini played another vampire in the movie Lost Boys: The Tribe and he has completed the film The Dead Matter, also featuring Andrew Divoff and Jim O'Rear.
He also voiced himself on the "Worst Episode Ever" episode of The Simpsons. He was making an appearance at Android's Dungeon where he performed his "Gutbuster" gag in which he covered the crowd in "blood and guts" and humiliated the Comic Book Guy. He also made a brief appearance in Zack & Miri Make a Porno as a thieving slumlord.
On 18 September 2009, Savini announced his plan to direct a new film entitled Death Island, with special make-up effects by his former protege Greg Nicotero.
Next spring Savini will be starring in the Nazi Zombie film The 4th Reich directed by Shaun Robert Smith. Tom will play the character Standartenfuhrer Oskar Direlewanger, an SS Nazi Officer.
