George Romero

Dead at 77. RIP.

There aren't very many individual people who deserve credit for an entire genre. There is no "Walking Dead", "Zombieland" or "Shaun of the Dead" without Romero.

There is SM easy zombie joke here but I'm not going to be the one to say it.

RIP Mr. Romero.

"You want to put some kind of explanation down here before you leave? Here's one as good as any you're likely to find. We're being' punished by the Creator. He visited a curse on us. So that man could look at... what Hell was like."

One of the greatest movie quotes ever.

My second favorite Romero film.

"When there's no more room in Hell. The Dead will walk the earth.

The modern Zombie wouldn't exist without him. We lost a visionary today.

NOTLD still holds up as a great film a half century since it was made. There are many things about the film that were groundbreaking and it also defined a genre that is still going strong to this day. Romero was truly a visionary.

That he was Hoss. Another great film of his was Monkey Shines. It often gets overlooked but it's a really good one.

One of the few movies that actually scared me, but I was about 7 the first time I watched the film.

That is a really good movie.

I think I read that the guy never made a dime from Night of the Living Dead because they didn't copyright it. That's unfortunate.
