George A. Romero, creator of the zombie film genre with "Night of the Living Dead" and a series of sequels that left a lasting impact on horror movies, died of lung cancer in a Toronto hospital on Sunday, his business partner said.

"I think a lot of apocalypse stories that I'm drawn to are personal apocalypses, whether it's like Take Shelter or Melancholia," he said, though he also cites The Shining, The Thing, Night of the Living Dead, and The Act of Killing as inspirations.

But his new book, Living with the Living Dead: The Wisdom of the Zombie Apocalypse, which was published by Oxford University Press earlier this month, is immediately unlike the dozens of manuals on the undead that have flooded the market over the past 20 years.

In Living with the Living Dead, Garrett dissects such fare as 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, George Romero's horror films, Game of Thrones, and Shaun of the Dead as though each is a moral fable—which, according to Garrett, is what they are.

Appreciations The visionary horror film director George Romero, who died on Sunday at the age of 77, got the last laugh on critics who sought to bury his black-and-white classic "Night of the Living Dead" when it first stoked America's nightmares in 1968.

This year's slate included the premieres of restorations of silent films by D.W. Griffith and Raoul Walsh, a collection of amateur films in the National Film Registry, a previously unreleased PSA about age discrimination from Night of the Living Dead director George Romeo, and more.

One of the stars, Duane Jones, is the superb actor who starred in the 1968 horror classic "Night of the Living Dead" and whose career never broke out of genre films — with the exception of the 1982 drama "Losing Ground," directed by Kathleen Collins.

Fun fact: she also composed the score for science-fiction film The Earth Dies Screaming (1964) which some see as a precursor to George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) and I think even the score may owe something to Lutyens' outré genius.

The production had more or less taken over much of the hotel, from a lobby it had dressed to look as if the place had been hastily barricaded and abandoned to a meeting room dressed like a party that had suddenly been interrupted by the living dead.

More of a mystery than "City of the Living Dead," this second installment in Fulci's "Gates of Hell" trilogy is slower paced but hits harder when it comes to his infamous knack for mutilating bodies — notably in one scene involving acid, and another involving flesh-eating spiders.
|

Along the way, "Scary Stories" provides some nifty horror imagery -- indicative of del Toro's splendid eye for such things -- as well as nice homages to the past, such as the teens finding sanctuary in a drive-in theater where "The Night of the Living Dead" is playing.

They are the amazing, amusing "The Old Dark House," a 1932 horror comedy directed by James Whale, the maestro of "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein," and George A. Romero's seminal 1968 "Night of the Living Dead," which had a long road to a beautiful new version.

As befits the site's purpose, these are older, classic movies rather than the ones you can find in theaters or on DVD, but it's well worth diving into—you'll find the original Jungle Book and Night of the Living Dead here, plus a stack of Charlie Chaplin shorts.

But look back, and you'll notice that iconic zombie-heavy movies, video games, books, and TV shows surface nearly every decade: 28 Days Later (2002), Resident Evil (1996), Dawn of the Dead (1978) (and its subsequent remakes and spoofs), and the groundbreaking Night of the Living Dead (1968).

As far as we can tell from the trailer, only Iggy Pop and Kane are actual zombies, though Buscemi looks like he's about to get chomped by some living dead in his trailer appearance, so hopefully, we'll at least get to see him staggering around moaning for brains, too.

It's because the version appearing on the site is a new restoration from the film's original negative, produced by the Film Foundation (the preservation nonprofit founded by the director Martin Scorsese) and the Museum of Modern Art, which put "Night of the Living Dead" in its permanent collection.

Peele opted to give his movie a happy ending, but an alternative ending — in which Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) would have gone to prison despite his innocence — mirrors the one in Night of the Living Dead, which sees sole survivor Ben (Duane Jones), a black man, gunned down by white cops.

"We are suffering from so many problems, we feel like the living dead," said a woman who identified herself only by the initials S. A. In addition to American air support, President Obama this month approved 615 more American troops to aid the Mosul offensive by providing intelligence and logistical assistance.

As with so many aspiring artists who saw the 1968 independent "Night of the Living Dead," that movie's director, Mr. Romero, was an inspiration for Mr. Hooper, proving that a few friends on a shoestring budget far from Hollywood could turn a visceral little movie into a reputation-making hit.

I interviewed writer-director Brian Taylor (of Neveldine and Taylor, the duo behind the Crank movies and Ghost Rider 2) about the film, and he specifically said the event was inspired by Night of the Living Dead, where no one really knows what caused zombies, but everyone still has to deal with them.

We wouldn't have The Walking Dead, World War Z, Shaun of the Dead, or Zombieland, either — in Night of the Living Dead and its sequels, Romero invented the rules that guide our modern ideas about zombies: They're reanimated deceased people who move slowly and have an insatiable desire to eat the living.

See, for instance, this passage from one of his poems, translated by the Chilean poet Daniel Borzutzky: Breaking news: almost eight individuals demonstrating for zombie rights at the doors of the National Palace were devoured by a horde of living dead without either the police or the army intervening on their behalf.

The director of such horror classics as Night of the Living Dead died last summer at the age of 77, but I wish he could have stuck around long enough to see the Oscars confirm what Romero knew for decades: If you want to dig deep into viewers' brains, you're best off doing it through genre.

Backed with nearly $101 million in venture capital, Jaunt has built a library of nearly 300 pieces of mostly short-form VR content that includes a 360-degree view of a concert by former Beatle Paul McCartney, a panoramic of "The Lion King" on Broadway and a bullet-splattered "Escape of the Living Dead" video segment.

As a franchise, Mo Dao Zu Shi has produced a huge amount of material: There's an animated adaptation released on YouTube, a Chinese comic series (with an official English translation) currently in progress, an audio drama, and two side movies, The Living Dead and Fatal Journey, the latter of which was coincidentally released just this week.

These contagion fears — like all fears before it — were swiftly integrated into the zombies' sense of being: An early 1986 article about AIDS in the Journal of the American Medical Association was titled "Night of the Living Dead II." Contagion soon joined the ranks of voodoo and radiation as an explanation for how zombies are reanimated.

Not to be confused with the awesomely bad Guy Pearce film of the same name from 1999, Robin Aubert's allegorical zombie film (the zombies are a stand-in for political upheaval) has been compared to George A.

Night of the Living Dead (1968) is the most iconic of them all, establishing many of the conventions of the genre — and you can stream it this weekend on Amazon Prime — but the weirdest, goofiest zombie movie you can watch at home this weekend (keep those doors locked) is Fido, a little-known indie from 2006 starring Carrie-Ann Moss, whom you know as Trinity from The Matrix.

Stephen King paid tribute on Twitter, saying that there will "never be another like you", while horror author Paul Tremblay (Disappearance at Devil's Rock and A Head Full of Ghosts) told The Verge that Romero's "impact on the modern horror film and horror culture is immeasurable," and that "Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead remain two of the most important American films ever made; frightening, deftly political, smart, and human."

The sequence of the Woodsmen terrorizing a New Mexico town where the atomic test occurred a decade earlier indulges plenty of Mr. Lynch's nostalgia for American diners and doo-wop, but once the fellow who keeps asking for a light can get his hands on an actual human, the violence and gore ramp up, with a coincidental echo of "City of the Living Dead," a 1980 extreme grindhouse film directed by Lucio Fulci, available on the horror-movie streaming service Screambox or for rent on Hulu.
