They’re alive! submitted by tarascon on September 11, 2023, 11:04am In 1969, when I was 13, my friend’s parents took us to see “Night of the Living Dead” at a drive-in theater. I’m not sure what the hell they were thinking; we left halfway through and I couldn’t sleep that night (kids were less film savvy then). I saw it again on The Ghoul’s tv show when I was in junior high and loved it. Does anyone else remember that guy?
Anyhow, if you’re an old-school zombie geek, or interested in the history of independent filmmaking, what’s not to love about this documentary. That’s not a question. ;)
