NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) | Romero + Savini: Horror’s Greatest Partnership, Part I

<p>For our inaugural series for the Cinema Shock Podcast, we're celebrating the lives and careers of George Romero and his frequent collaborator and makeup effects legend Tom Savini.</p> <p>While Savini didn't work on NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, the story of their years-long collaboration does start here, however tangentially. Plus, how do you talk about the career of George Romero without starting with the film that started it all?</p> <p>NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD not only kickstarted Romero's career, but it's one of the few modern films that can be credited as starting an entire subgenre of horror.</p> <p>In this episode, we look at the story behind the making of the film, and how it influenced the genre forever!</p> <p>----more----</p> <p>Theme Song: "Guardian At The Gate Of Our Horned Lord's Heart" by <a href='https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj8487dns3rAhXut1kKHWjpBtIQFjAAegQIBRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fslasherfilmfestivalstrategy.bandcamp.com%2F&usg=AOvVaw3qXZCJdUiLORfY6MbQrpo5'>Slasher Film Festival Strategy</a>.</p> <p>----more----</p> <p>This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne & Justin Bishop, with special thanks to Todd Davis.</p> <p>Visit our website for episode archives, blogs and more: <a href='http://cinemashock.net'>http://cinemashock.net</a></p> <p>----more----</p> <p>Follow us:</p> <p><a href='http://twitter.com/cinema_shock'>twitter.com/cinema_shock</a></p> <p><a href='http://facebook.com/cinemashocknet'>facebook.com/cinemashocknet</a></p> <p><a href='http://instagram.com/cinema_shock'>instagram.com/cinema_shock</a></p>
