Night of the Living Dead brings the scares, man.

I couldn't watch Night of the Living Dead when age 14 and home alone in a house that creaked. Thought I was brave. Guess not. Thanks Romero for the personal insight.

A true icon. RIP hopefully. Or not.

Night of the Living Dead freaked me out. I was probably about 14 or 15 when I tried to watch it. Scary shit.

Influenced by Richard Matheson’s novel “I Am Legend,” the black and white film about a group of people trapped in a Pennsylvania farmhouse who fall prey to a horde of the undead was said to be a critique of capitalism during the counter-culture era.

I did not know that.

I only saw NotLD later but I was around after it was released. It played every weekend midnight at a cinema in an ethnic Los Angeles neighborhood. People came from all over the area to see it. Every night. The same people. The same fixated, obsessive people. In the same clothes. With the same degraded facial expressions. Look, a zombie audience!

I did not want to know those people.

So he was very young when he directed NOTLD! That movie came out in the 60s. He was ahead of his time in casting. May he rest in peace.

Martin Landau is gone, too. He (with wife Barbara Bain) were on MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for the first half of it's 6-year run. He took that role after turning down Roddenberry's offer to be Spock on STAR TREK, saying that he'd have to be lobotomized to play someone without emotions. After leaving MI, Landau was replaced by... Leonard Nimoy.

Landau got a well-deserved Oscar for being junkie Bela Lugosi in ED WOOD. So long, Marty.

the night of the living dead is still the most realistic zombie movie ever.

because at the end the fucking zombies are fucking dead because killing zombies is just that fucking easy.

that's kinda why most zombie movies either supe them up now or just start after the apocalypse so they don't have to try to explain how civilization got wiped out by a bunch of brainless, slow moving, stinky, groaning corpses when we have fucking guns.

and fire.

and bombs.

and doors with fucking locks on them.

seriously. fuck zombies.

 

[Hard_Rom]

The sheer numbers of zombies makes it difficult to keep ahead on the kill count. 9 million people in New York city. That's 9 million rounds if all are head shots. But then again upwards of 10 billion rounds of ammo may exist in the US.

Thinking of a dead night, watch Romeros' dead movies back to back, with the lights on.
