Interviews with cast and production company members explore the genesis of the movie, from persuading friends and family to become investors, finding the perfect run-down farmhouse in rural western Pennsylvania for the central location, assembling a cast of extras to portray “flesh-eating ghouls”, and the ground-breaking casting of a black actor in a leading role—Duane Jones as Ben—to the rough-and-tumble guerilla-style shoot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book explores how \u003ci\u003eNight of the Living Dead\u003c\/i\u003e went from controversial to iconic over the years, gaining critical acclaim and a hardcore cult following. And how zombies—as envisioned by Romero and his co-creators—now permeate everything from video games to literature, all tracing back to the unparalleled original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrated with movie stills, memorabilia, and unpublished on-set photos never previously seen, and including analysis of the original shooting script annotated by George A. Romero, this book is a must-have for horror fans.","brand":"Titan Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46714576109823,"sku":"9781835414019","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781835414019_s600x595.jpg?v=1775603842","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781835414019","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
