NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
While visiting their fathers grave in a country churchyard, Barbara and Johnny are attacked by a strange, corpse-like man. Escaping, Barbara takes refuge in an old farmhouse where she is joined by several other people. Soon they are besieged by an increasing number of zombies. «I read a book called I Am Legend by Richard Matheson and got very much into the socio-political through-line thats present in it, although it doesnt really follow through. Inspired by it, I wrote a short story which dealt with a revolutionary society coming into being in the form of a zombie society people coming back to life as soon as they die.» (George A. Romero)
