I grew up just a little north of Pittsburgh, The small town to the south of me, Evans City, was where the Original "Night of the Living Dead" was filmed...(the Graveyard scenes, anyway... I have dirt from the graveyard, I have been there at night, I have never done anything to disturb the cemetary, other than take pics...and I have had permission to be in the cemetary each time I have been there) Romero is a true artist! May I suggest a book? It is called the "Zombies that ate Pittsburgh" If you are into Zombie Flicks it's a must read. It tells how he did the movie, Locations, ETC. I haven't been into Zombie Movies, I feel they became too much of a joke after they remade NOTLD. I was thinking about seeing this, cause it is billed as being silly. BTW, The newscaster in the original is for real, His name is Bill Cardille (AKA Chilly Billy)... He hosted "Chiller Theater" On late night Saturday TV... They showed all B-Flicks and he is still kicking it in the Burgh, He is a Weatherman now... Works for WPXI... OK, sorry for the Shameless plug of my Home area, But Zombie Movies are a Pittsburgh thing, you wouldn't understand.... Oh, and you can also check out another Hometown Boy... You may have heard of Tom Savini? ::mad Cackle::Hmm for those of you not in the know on such things, He is a really really awesome Special FX guy... and He was also in "From Dusk Til Dawn" He played Sex Machine......
