Horizontal crease, some creasing and toning."The Wikipedia entry for Night of the Living Dead cites 126 references, not to mention extensive bibliography, external links, etc. This is not bad for a film that reputedly cost a little more than $100,000 and came out of nowhere?or, rather,… Pittsburgh. (I love the line in Preston Sturges's Sullivan's Travels, when a studio official tells film director Sullivan, played by Joel McCrea, that "they know what they like in Pittsburgh," and Sullivan responds, "If they knew what they liked, they wouldn't live in Pittsburgh.") Of course, most of director George A. Romero's characters are zombies, and this may not be a fair representation of the local populace. It is also extraordinary that this little independent film would, two generations later, be a major and acknowledged influence on the most popular cable television series, The Walking Dead. ".
