1968. The year that forever changed the horror genre.
Few films in the history of cinema are more influential than George A. Romero’s game-changing classic Night of the Living Dead, which is single-handedly responsible for all things zombie that came in its wake – and yes, that most certainly includes “The Walking Dead.” Prior to the film’s release, zombies were depicted as little more than re-animated slaves, but it was Romero who turned them into the undead, flesh-eating monsters that we know them to be today. So if he’s a little salty about not quite getting the credit for all that, hey, can you blame him?
Brad Pitt didn’t ruin zombies, but Romero sure as hell created them.
In any event, Grey Matter Art just unveiled and put up for grabs a brand new poster that pays tribute to Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, and oh boy is it a looker. The art, done up by the wonderfully over the top Godmachine, brings a splash of color to the black and white film, depicting a gruesome scene that is quite a bit gorier than anything seen in the movie itself.
The 18″x”24 print is limited to 150 and can be purchased over on Grey Matter’s website.
