George A. Romero Talks 'Night of the Living Dead' and Zombies 

'Gimme a break, they're dead!' - Perfect.

RIP George , I'm from Pittsburgh and was friends with the pyro-technicians that did the special effects. They are all also passed on. RIP to all of you.

I was 11 at the time. i remember finding this movie in an old crate in my grandparents garage. it had "NOTLD" written on it in faded marker. I'm like "wtf is this?" so I pop it in the VCR. I was shaking in fear watching this movie. I had never seen anything like it. fast forward 14 years and I own a chain of haunted house attractions. This movie holds a special place in my memories.

George's movie are better than other crappy horror zombie movies

Did you know? George once called The Walking Dead 'a sitcoms with Zombies' This is because of the fact as many regard him as the Grandfather of zombie films, he knows what fits and what doesn't each and every time

In my opinion, "running zombies", arent zombies but should be called "infected"

Imagine being the innovator of a genre only to be sidestepped in the long run. It's really saddening that George A. Romero never got the acclaim that he rightfully deserved, because he's an independent filmmaker at heart and didn't compromise with bullshit Hollywood standards until the day he died. You'll always be one of the best director and filmmaker of all time for me, Mr. Romero.

Rip George A Romero we will miss you pal!!

"zombies cant run" treyarch pulls out a shotgun

Mr.Romero was the most humble director in the business. RIP

He was so hard to kill in Black ops 1 zombies

First 30 seconds and I’m already grinning from ear to ear. Love this guy

Rest In Peace you absolute legend

Rest In Peace George A Romero

The best director ever . Period .

Thank you for this video, it's going into my list of interview and behind the scenes material, which will immortalize this legend I love so much. I never got to meet him, but I love you George!

I hope Romero makes one more Zombie masterpiece movie before he calls it quits.

Rest In Power

A total legend rip George

RIP the King of the Undead :(

Happy 75th Birthday George :)

R.I.P George Romero he died in call of the dead

"Zombies cannot run" *flashback to call of the dead* George making all the zombies run 1Million miles per hour.

I wonder if George knew how important he was to us? Thank you George for all the great entertainment you've provided me and many others.

GR 1968 NOTLD was the beginning of the zombie cult classics..when George invited television personalities on the filming set it was classic mockey of old style horror comics. In 1968 In Jersey City at the Lowes during the Halloween midnight show they had people walking up and down the isles with bloody white shirts and scaring people. This was common in the 1950s when a producer of movie theatres dressed actors up and had them walk around when the film was rolling.

I really am mesmerized by the f\x in his work. preferably Dawn of The Dead. And Tales from the dark side is one of my favorite shows to this day. "begotten" genre is way over the top. Also it always seemed that you didn't have to put much effort into the writing. love your work!

Love and Miss this Guy! RIP Romero

May the master RIP

« Zombies cannot run. I say this definitely as The Godfather of Zombies » What about 28 days later, that was a damn good movie within zombies running.

A great man...Rip George

R.I.P George Romero

Rip Romero

The 1 dislike is from the survivors of call of the dead, they couldn't kill him. So they disliked his video instead. I love George romeros movies.

Rest in peace man you will always be a legend.

"Zombies cannot run" His most annoying ability in Call of the Dead is making Zombies run.

R.I.P. George

Back in those days, a kid was FORTUNATE to get ahold of a videocamera. I was born in the 80's there was no way my Dad would let me use his VHS Camera that you hold over your shoulder. *Nowadays* my 4 year old is making his own movies with stuffed animals and *my* iPad Pro! *I believe* we have have actor/directors with amazing minds in the making.

Thank you George x

That is why Mr. Rogers was good, I knew it was something about that Mr. Rogers!

R.I.P. mr Romero.....Your zombies will live on

I almost got to meet this legendary director when he helped promote Lollipop Chainsaw XD. Sadly I never got to meet him/get an autograph from the guy and tell him my mother (who saw Night of the Living Dead when it came out) thanks for scaring the shit out of her and making an awesome movie lol.

George Romero started on Mr Rogers'Neighborhood! omg!

This movie is a masterpiece of living dead.

RIP G.O.A.T Mr Geroge ROMERO

We'll miss you, George.

Miss you George

Best quote from George "I mean you know what did they go and join a spa the moment they rose from the dead give me a break; they're dead."

Nice to hear romero's opinion on running zombie

R.I.P What a legend

George a Romero is a awesome zombie maker !!!!!!

i love GORGE ROMERO

“The grandfather of zombies” haha gotta love him

Awesome!!!

call of the dead should be a movie

Running Zombies Suck.

I agree zombies DO NOT run! One of the reasons why I didn't like the 2004 remake

The people who made that Dawn of the Dead remake should of watched this video

RIP George A. Romero.

Rip george

Let's be honest, we all hated his zombified version in Call of The Dead.

I would love to see a Live Play adaption of this movie... looks cool to see it in a Broadway Theater

The only reason zombies in cod is because first they walk and weak then if you didn't know each time you kill a zombie Samantha get stronger and they make zombies stronger making the zombie ankles stronger.

I remember hating Call of the Dead, so, much. it was so hard, i used to play with my twin brother we loved playing it so much though we died so much, now getting to 30+ 3 years later :D not just 5+

Truely The Master of Zombie Apocalypse Horror movies. 👍👌😊😲👊✊😆 🎃🍁🎃 RIP George A Romero 😔✌

God damn I miss him.

RIP george your the legend in zombies I always loved you in call of the dead

Zack Snyder was one of 3 to dislike this video

Very cool.

1968 is not copyrighted and was boot legged there after; and shown all over US drive ins ect. One reason for the remake in 1990. Directed by Tom Savini (make up master, Machete guy Dawn of the Dead 1979) who was a combat photographer in Vietnam.

I have a rare copy of it on super 8mm sound 5 reels.

I think it's creepier to refer to the living dead as ghouls as opposed to zombies, which sounds a little comic book-y.

Talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I the only one not here because of 'Call of the Dead'?

I watched dawn of the dead and when I saw the child zombie I was scared I was only 8 but with out him I would never be inspired and happy

RIP Romero

"Zombies cant run" Also George when he gets mad on call of the dead:

George, put down the stage light 0_0

Isn't there 2 kid zombies in dawn of the dead who run?

R.I.P

And now he ends up in a game about zombies being up to date the most resilient boss in cod zombies and the zombies can run.....

i Like 28 days later by dani boyle with running dead with the rage virus

CAN YOU HEAR HIM TREYARCH? (yes I'm here from call of the dead)

Lmao this starts with zombies don't run and yet the dawn if the dean remake they ran lol RIP George glad I got to meet you once

Don't get me wrong I love 28 Days Later and other zombie films that have running zombies, but I prefer the classic walking zombie. The act of the dead rising to eat flesh is already scary enough and you don't need to make them scarier. The fear in my opinion comes from how people decide to deal with the situation. Weird because Return of The Living Dead technically has running and talking zombies and that's my all time favorite zombie film. Funny how that works.

I never got down to this question till now but considering he voiced himself in Call of the Dead for Black Ops, what did he ever think of the gaming concept of the Zombies mode there? Or did he ever express his thoughts on the matter?

...but can zombies be tweets?

They can't run but they can certainly bend their rotten backs and knees to crouch down so that they can clutch their little decomposed fingers around obects such as table legs and bricks then above it all they can swing their filthy maggit infested arms in a sudden striking manner so that they can use tools to break windows and bang on doors and walls. I wonder what George's response would be to that. I bet he'd probably just laugh it off. I love George and respect his work. He inspires me but I kind of consider the whole 'zombie ability to use tools'...a slight glitch. When directing, we have to watch out for glitches.

JESUS HOLY FUCKING SHIT there was actually behind the scenes footage of the original NotLD ! I've seen A LOT of Romero related footage but this is something else & £🎯£ @ the ending , "I'M telling you they CAN'T GET IN HERE" . . . Auuhhrgh ! ! !

george romero pasa la pelicula deadtime stories

george rip

But his boss in cod runs. This is contradictory

You herd the man, ZOMBIES DONT RUN! Left4Dead, World War Z I'm looking at you 😜

ROAAAAAAR

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, won't you be mine, could you be mine, won't you be my neighbor. Lol

Brain speed gorge. Brian speed. R.I.P gorge romero

I'm coming for you s what you hear all the sudden and then...RAAWWRR NOM NOM IM A ZOMBIE

After playing call of the dead I'm a little scared of George

Wonder what Mr Rogers thought of Night of the living dead

pretty sure first zombie in notld was running... he certainly was moving fast...lol i could write a book about the inconsistencys of that movie... its brilliant...but could have been even better!

I am sure this man having a long conversation with God lol
