On Tuesday October 1st, 1968 Night of the Living Dead premiered in Pittsburgh, PA at the Fulton Theater.
Written, directed, photographed and edited by George A. Romero and co-written by John Russo.
Starring Duane Jones and Judith O’Dea.
The following Friday it was released nationwide and was shown as a Saturday matinee, as was typical for horror movies at the time.
After a nation of young children were traumatized for life the film found a more appropriate time slot during midnight showings.
