🧟 The Film That Created the Zombie Genre
Directed by George A. Romero, Night of the Living Dead wasn’t just another low-budget horror flick—it was a revolution. Released in 1968, the film took the idea of zombies (previously linked to Haitian folklore and voodoo) and turned them into something far scarier: relentless, flesh-eating ghouls.
With its stark black-and-white cinematography, tense atmosphere, and shocking social commentary, the film redefined horror and laid the groundwork for every zombie story that followed.
