George A. Romero –
Filmmaker, author, zombie?
February 4, 1940 – July 16, 2017.
Aged 77 years.
Most recognized for: Zombies…. plain and simple. He co-wrote, produced, and directed “Night of the Living Dead” in 1968… and in doing so, created the Zombie film genre. Although he tried his hand at romantic comedies & sports documentaries, no one paid him any attention unless he was cranking out grizzly horror flicks. So he embraced his one-trick pony status and gave us 5 more gore-filled zombie movies.
