'Night of the Living Dead' (1968): Zombie Ground Zero

The Sleepless Cinematic Podcast

Madeline, Julian, and Emilio mark this year's Halloween season with a bonus conversation on George A. Romero's genre-defining 1968 Horror film "Night of the Living Dead." A first-time viewing for each of them, the group trace the details of the film that have made far-reaching ripples in the Horror genre and Zombie subgenre ever since, aided by Madeline's comprehensive walkthrough of the history of zombies in film and television. They discuss the admirable markers of the film's limited budget, the human elements that make it relatable, and its likely unintentional resemblance to fellow films of the then-burgeoning New Hollywood Era, with numerous fun facts and personal revelations along the way.
