'NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD' CREATOR
GEORGE A. ROMERO DEAD AT 77
Legendary horror filmmaker George A. Romero, best known for creating the “Night of the Living Dead” and catapulting the zombie film genre, has passed away.
Many memories of going to the Midnight Movies to see his NOTLD and especially "Dawn of the Dead". _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I've heard of him but never saw his work I was surprised to find out the NOTLD had a lead of color back in 1968 which had to be controversial at the time. |

Dawn is probably my favorite zombie flick.
RIP a great visionary artist and storyteller. |

His partner on Night Of (Jack Russo) went on to co-write Return Of in 1985. I consider that the best zombie movie (not the sequels) to this point. Still been 30+ yrs.
Creepshow 1 is one of my favorite 80s horror/schlock flicks. Romero was part of that. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL
