George Romero may be synonymous with zombie films, which he single-handedly gave rise to, but he also directed a whole lot of other gems over the years. Arrow Video is paying tribute to Romero’s other movies with the just announced Between Night and Dawn collection, which collects three rare early works by Romero that were made between Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead.

Following the breakout success of his debut feature Night of the Living Dead, Romero would embark upon a series of projects which, whilst firmly rooted in the horror genre for the most part, demonstrate a master filmmaker with more than mere gut-munching on his mind.

In There’s Always Vanilla, Romero’s sophomore 1971 directorial effort, young drifter Chris and beautiful model Lynn embark upon a tumultuous relationship which seems doomed from the outset. 1972’s Season of the Witch (originally filmed as Jack’s Wife but released to theaters under the title of Hungry Wives) follows the exploits of Joan Mitchell – a housewife whose dissatisfaction with her humdrum life leads to an unhealthy interest in the occult. Lastly, 1973’s The Crazies, which sees Romero returning to more “straight” horror territory, has a small rural town finding itself in the grip of an infection which send its hosts into a violent, homicidal frenzy.
