STILL the SCARIEST movie I have ever seen and when I was a kid, I had to sleep with the lights on for weeks. BEST ZOMBIE MOVIE OR ZOMBIE ANYTHING EVER FOR MENIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD Trailer - 1968
Night of the Living Dead | Original Trailer
Shot outside of Pittsburgh at a fraction of the cost of a Hollywood feature by a band of filmmakers determined to make their mark, George A. Romero’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is one of the great stories of independent cinema: a midnight hit turned box-office smash that became one of the most influential films of all time.
A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of flesh-eating ghouls newly arisen from their graves, Romero’s claustrophobic vision of a late-sixties America (literally) tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in the lead role.
