Description & Specifications

The official retrospective on one of the most important films in cinema - Night of the Living Dead. The complete history of the first "live" movie, the 1968 cult film by George A. Romero that defined the birth of modern horror. Released in 1968, George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead revolutionized the horror genre, reinvented the zombie subgenre, and influenced directors for generations. This official retrospective tells the full story of the film’s production by a small group of people at the start of their filmmaking careers. Interviews with cast members and the production company explore the film’s origin, from persuading friends and family to become investors, to finding the perfect dilapidated farmhouse in western Pennsylvania as the central location, assembling a cast of extras to portray "flesh figures," including the groundbreaking casting of a Black actor in the lead role—Duane Jones as Ben—with a Western-style shooting style as sharp work. The book explores how Night of the Living Dead moved from skepticism to iconic status over the years, gaining positive recognition and a hardcore following. And how the living dead—as seen by Romero and his collaborators—now permeate everything from video games to literature, all traced back to the unparalleled original. Illustrated with film stills, memorabilia, and previously unseen behind-the-scenes photos, and including analysis of the original shooting script annotated by George A. Romero, this book is essential for horror fans.
