Description of this Night of the Living Dead Poster
Night of the Living Dead is a 1968 American independent horror film written, directed, photographed, and edited by George A. Romero, co-written by John Russo, and starring Duane Jones and Judith O’Dea. The story follows seven people trapped on a rural farm in western Pennsylvania, which is taken over by a growing group of cannibalistic undead ghouls. After gaining experience directing television commercials and industrial films for their Pittsburgh-based production company, The Latent Image, Romero and his friends Russo and Russell Streiner decided to pursue their ambitions by directing a feature film. Choosing to make a horror film that would capitalize on contemporary commercial interest in the genre, they formed a partnership with Karl Hardman and Marilyn Eastman of Hardman Associates called Image Ten. After evolving through multiple drafts, Russo and Romero’s final script was primarily inspired by Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel, I Am Legend. Principal photography took place between June and December 1967, primarily in Evans City. In addition to the Image Ten crew, the crew consisted of friends and relatives, local theater actors and amateurs, and area residents. Although this was his first film, Romero used many of the guerrilla filmmaking techniques he had honed in his commercial and industrial work to make the film on a budget of $114,000. After its theatrical premiere in Pittsburgh on October 1, 1968, Night of the Living Dead grossed $12 million domestically and $18 million internationally—more than 250 times its budget—making it one of the most profitable film productions ever made at the time. Released shortly before the adoption of the Motion Picture Association of America’s classification system, the film generated considerable controversy and negative reviews upon its initial release due to its graphic violence and gore, but it quickly gained a cult following and critical acclaim. It has been listed among the greatest films ever made by, among others, Empire, The New York Times, and Total Film. Often considered the first modern zombie film and a milestone in the development of the horror genre, retrospective analysis has focused on its reflection of social and cultural changes in the United States in the 1960s, with particular attention paid to the casting of Jones, an African American, in the lead role. In 1999, the film was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Night of the Living Dead spawned a franchise that includes five official sequels released between 1978 and 2009, also directed by Romero. Due to its public domain status, the film has inspired several remakes, the most well-known of which, written by Romero and directed by Tom Savini, was released in 1990.
