It can get very expensive travelling all over the usa to film movie locations. I've done 3 or 4 so far. Its very time consuming and expensive. Thats probably why they never continued making filming location videos. Plus I think they both have kids. So kids totally steal your freedom. Its no wonder they gave up.
This is the cemetery that my family is buried at and lived just over the hill from. The storm if '85, a massive tornado traveled roughly over 20 miles and went through the cemetery. No corpses were up rooted from the storm that was a myth.
The headstone they say they couldn't see the name on you can see it says "Myers" on the clip from the movie. James pointed at the correct one first. The full name on it is "Clyde Lewis Myers" :)
This was filmed where my mom grew up. My aunt used to drag my mother with her to the old horror double feature films because she didn’t want to go alone in the 60’s... Mom said she absolutely hated having to drive past that cemetery on the way home in the dead of the night after going to see those movies. Especially when they were the only ones on the road.
Great stuff guys! I recently went to a horrorthon at a local theatre and they played NOTLD on the big screen. It was something I never thought I would be able to experience. I'm glad to see the cemetery is looking relatively unchanged.
Thanks James for the Night of the living dead commentary, I’m going through the monster madness catalog and its excellent. Learning a lot about cinema and horror.
Unbeknownst to Nicholas Kramer. He would become part of cinematic history when his tombstone was used in the filming of this movie. He died in 1917 and motion pictures were still in infancy at this point. Sound pictures hadn't even come in yet!
Love everything about your productions! Your comments are so "right on." The visit to the cemetary is absolutely magnificent. "Night of the Living Dead" was unique, unforgettable, and totally compelling. I have looked at it hundreds of times and it never loses its appeal. I am so happy to see there are other "Night of the Living Dead" addicts out there.
Oh he sees it, baby. He'd see it if his eyes were tied back. You'll get recognition one day. And on that day, we'll throw a celebration like you've never seen. Champagne, chocolates, crack cocaine. It'll be a night to remember. And it'll be special...because we'll do it happy. Like the old days. George...tell me about the rabbits.
Awesome, I remember this being the first horror movie I saw when I was like 7 years old, and being absolutely terrified of graveyards for a short period of time afterwards.
Great stuff! Thanks for visiting this place for us! And you did a better job than average of showing the movie shots side-by-side with current-day views of that angle.
According of what I read in ther internet, the big farmhouse of the movie was a house that was originally going to be demolished, so the owner let them use it for free in exchange of shattering all the doors, windows and furniture apart. I wonder if there still is a house at the same location.
Holy shit, I remember watching this when it was first put up. James kept thanking all the viewers and fans for allowing him to travel there and film. Can't believe it's been 8+ years!
What about this, considering the zombie attacks and kills Johnny, why in the world wouldn't he start/begin eating him right there, instead of going after Barbara? That's the zombies goal is to eat the flesh of the living, and I'm fairly certain Johnny taking a hit to the noggin' wouldn't have turned off the zombies appetite..
Well, realistically speaking, it doesn't take much for a person to die when she bangs her head, while it should take a significant portion of the brain being destroyed in order to kill a zombie. It's not like the 2 things have to be on the same level. Hitting a zombie in the head with a rock wouldn't kill him (while a normal person could die that way), instead it would take something more violent, like a gun shot or a spike through the brain. But never in the movie is it made clear that Johnny died on the spot. It's just as plausible that he was simply knocked unconscient and was *later* found and finished by other ghouls.
First off...holy shit how did I not know about this?! Secondly, thank you for doing this! I never even had it in my mind to do this and now its all I want to do. Thank you guys.
4:45 Only thing I can think of that would do that kind of damage was a large tree falling on the tombstone or maybe even a lightning strike hit that marker. I'd like to imagine it was a lightning strike like in the intro of Super CastleVania 4.
This is the only video I saw with the recreation of the area of the filming that actually shows the chapel before they made the changes. Pretty cool to see it in this video!
Hey Night of the Living Dead had a reference to the movie Halloween....that tombstone they were talking about...it said Myers on it even though it was made 10 years apart it's still an eery coincidence
I just watched the scene in ultra slow motion and the exact gravestone where Johnny gets his head slammed belongs to Clyde Myers (Died 1966) You're welcome !!
"If another car comes I don't know what the fuck we're going to do." Welcome to the Pittsburgh area. At least 50% of our roads are like that. We also have a few two-way roads that can barely fit a single car.
Why you made another channel for this ? I think all cinemassacre fans would love to see that. BTW : I have the same style as Mike with those pants and always a nerdy shirt
Watched it at a movie theatre with my kid brother when it first came out ( I was like 10 he was 6 three there we're no movie ratings those days I think) after that movie I never went in my basement for months!😱
www.findagrave.com/memorial/21009491/clyde-lewis-myers That's the headstone Johnny hits with his head. If you look closely, you can make out the "Lewis Myers" part in the clip, plus it has father written at the top. When Mike gets back up, you can see "Clyde," so they must've had the right stone.
I can't believe that I never knew of this channel... totally awesome, did you guys do the Halloween locations? James, where is the house they were hiding at?
It's funny I'm sitting here watching your playlist of your film location videos from about halfway through when I decide to leave this comment and go figure someone already said exactly what I was going to say about 5 years ago which was the first thing that popped up basically saying you should definitely do this more often if my math is correct it's been probably at least about 5 years or so if you posted one I think you are do for one. I'm not sure what state you're still living in currently right now but I'm sure there's got to be some movie related stuff close by you I would hope anyway for all of our sake with Halloween right around the corner I know you like to do your monster stuff that time of year but it's also perfect time I hate to show some Halloween movie film location some sort.
I’d love to see you splice in the shots of you guys at the Kramer tombstone and bashing each other’s heads on the headstones into the cemetery scenes. Like show Barbara go up to the Kramer one and after she runs off it cuts back to the same tombstone only it’s Mike or James now. And then the zombie bashes he brother’s head and she runs but you cut back to now James and Mike getting their heads smashed. That would’ve been hilarious. 🍻
James now put on a rain overcoat a blond wig and heels (which you'll kick off) and run barefoot thru the graveyard and dirt road while the other guy stagger chases you... to complete the reeactment.
They were called zombies years after NOTLD was released. Originally they were called ghouls . Romero never called them zombies. That name took off from other films.
