Did you know that a group of self-taught filmmakers from Pennsylvania, whose only training were the commercials they created themselves, are responsible for redefining the horror genre as we know it today? John and Georgia take a bite out of Night of the Living Dead, the classic 1968 George A. Romero film, celebrating its 55th anniversary this week, that formally established the rules for zombies, without even using the word "zombie"! We talk independent filmmaking, the inspirations for Night of the Living Dead and the films that it in turn inspired, DIY work ethic, the controversial casting of a Black actor in a lead role, how horror films shifted from children's fare to something far greater, the power of drive-ins, flawed characters and heroes who make poor choices, the strength of single-location settings, Romero's choice to stay with black & white film stock, and much, much more. Shamble on down to the graveyard with us for a night of fun! They're coming to get you, Barbra!
