Living Dead Festival 2013 "Johnny" and "Barbra" in Evans City Cemetery 

My thoughts exactly. She's so lovely.

I think she may have been wearing a wig in the movie, but she is a very elegant looking women.

i said the same exact thing this year of 2022. Judith's an amazing woman!!! XXX

+Mark Bowman, somehow it provoked the evil spirits that eventually got both siblings.

Stop it! You're acting like a child! :)

"LOOK! Here comes one of them now!" What an epic opening to a GREAT zombie horror movie! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 George A. Romero DID that!

Who wouldn't want to get Barbara----TO LOVE?

Your comment actually informed me George Romero was dead.

@@owenwalker1774 yep such a sad time

Did you think of how the zombie smashed Johnny's head like a mushy melon on that gravestone?

My fav part too. Plus Johnny in the 1950s looked cute

I can tell you, everyone involved with the movie are genuinely nice people. You should come to the festival this year! It's nothing like a normal horror convention- it's much more intimate. I can also say the John Russo is one of the funniest people you could ever meet..haha! Everyone is very friendly and happy to share stories about shooting the movie :)

triciakitty, yes, I can easily imagine how wonderful the cast would be in person. What a timeless classic! It's a Halloween treat that lasts throughout the year.

***** Oh yes! Actually, this year it's the Living Dead Weekend. The festival is taking a break, but it's still gonna' be just as awesome :) It's being coordinated with the city (Evans City) by Kevin Kriess from the Living Dead Museum. So many awesome guests this year!

triciakitty, how incredible! There is something so mysterious about the ORIGINAL classic that remakes would never duplicate, no matter what. From the beginning, "terror" is in the air. Johnny's ill-fated clash with that horrible zombie still frightens me to this day. He slips on the grass and strikes his head on that tombstone. (How does anyone film such a scene without risking the actor's safety?) It is possible that he died immediately, but perhaps he was just injured, and it was another zombie that came along and bit his neck. It is up to our imaginations, of course, but striking his head on the tombstone was likely to have caused his end. Even when I visit a cemetery today, I think of Johnny's terrible fall, and I worry that it could happen to me, too! Wet and slippery grass with nearby stones or bricks make me nervous about falling, too!

I'll have to tell Russ your story..haha! He'd be happy to know that the movie..especially his scene with the headstone, had such an effect on someone. He likes it when the movie has any effect on people...especially if it really scared them. They had no idea that making that movie would have such an impact on the world. Hey! If you are able to make it to the festival, you can tell Russ in person! He's one of the guests..and such a nice, nice man :)

Yes and he was one of the biggest stars of it. Seems I remember there was a scene right before he grabs Barbara a shot of him standing with his eyes rolled back up in his head and nothing but whites were shown but it must to have been cut out later.

The ghouls got him, too.

That should be a lot of fun! And in October? It'll be perfect for the Halloween season, too!

***** Oh yes! Perfect timing! Gary told us that the weather is usually pretty good that time of October too.

triciakitty, the cooler days of fall help to add to the atmosphere, too.

Hopefully they say the same about you

@Joseph I'm curious to know, whatever happened to that car? If it's still around, it would make a great movie car museum piece.

I noticed that too. Look at that calendar behind Ben on the wall in the kitchen, I think it says November on it but it's too blurry to make out

He died in 2012.

Carbs and wheat and processed food will do that to you. Beer and pizza too.

Evan, she had no choice. An attempt to check on her knocked-out or dead brother would have given the zombie a chance to kill her, too.
