Horror film Night of the Living Dead is released in theaters. The low-budget movie, directed by George Romero, centers around a farmhouse surrounded by the walking dead. Romero's early zombies lurch uncomfortably across the countryside, stopping occasionally to snack on humans unlucky enough to escape, otherwise banging on boarded windows demanding snacks. Many sequels follow as well as new generations of zombie movie madness.
