Night of the Living Dead
Directed by George Romero
George Romero's original zombie classic introduced viewers to a new type of terror: the walking dead, slow moving, but determined to feast on your flesh! From the first moments of its iconic opening sequence, NOTLD changed the game for horror directors, creating a genre that - like the zombies themselves - still shows no sign of slowing down. But Romero's most brilliant and controversial innovation was casting African-American actor Duane Jones as the lead, and offering a devastating - and still relevant - commentary on racism during the film's final moments.

They’re coming to get you, Barbara.
the classic is still going strong
Hat’s off to the movie that launched an entire genre.
there's 95 min I'll never get back 🤦🏽:male_sign:
Divorced from the entire subgenre it birthed, Romero’s classic still holds up as a testament to the power of independent filmmaking.
