  • Romero produced the film on the small budget of $114,000, but after a decade of theatrical re-releases it had grossed an estimated $12 million in the United States and $30 million internationally. The culture of Vietnam-era America had a tremendous impact on the film. It is so thoroughly laden with critiques of late-1960s American society that one historian described the film as "subversive on many levels. The film is the first of five Dead films (completed or pending) directed by Romero. It has been remade twice, in 1990 and in 2006.

  • Night of the Living Dead is a 1968 horror film directed by George A. Romero and written by Romero and John Russo; it is one of the most influential horror films ever, helping to make zombies the staple monster of the Zombie Apocalypse genre. Before Living Dead, zombies were creatures of voodoo who obeyed their master, but Romero's zombies were something completely different; for one, thing, no explanation was given for their existence (besides a speculative Hand Wave about a space probe and radioactive fallout), but more than that, the film showed the increasing tension in society -- the zombies weren't the only enemies, they were only the most visible ones.
