GEORGE A. ROMERO (1940-2017) is an iconic filmmaker and editor. His most famous accomplishment is the creation of what we now know as "zombies" via his films Night of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead.
"George Romero is one of my all time heroes-of the films I saw as a
young man, the two that had a huge impact on my creative life are
Night of the Living Dead and Planet of the Apes. Zombies and
Mutations in general lead me down a path directly to where I am
today-the Night, Dawn, and Day films I still watch regularly to
this day-with the same thrill as the first time I saw them. He has
influenced countless 'Creators' in an amazing cross section of
genres-he's on my bucket list to meet, shake his hand, and thank
him personally for all he's done for me, and my career." -Kevin
Eastman, -artist and co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles
"Some projects made on a shoestring budget become classics, and
Night of the Living Dead is one of those." -Charlaine Harris, #1
New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels
which became HBO's hit True Blood. "With Night of the Living Dead,
George A. Romero created a mythology that is both a lens through
which to view the fissures at civilization's core, and a mirror
whose reflection offers an unflinching view into man's very soul.
Ignore the skeptics; the 'Zombie Apocalypse' paradigm will never be
irrelevant." -Axel Alonso, Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics. "Night
of the Living Dead is to zombies what Gone With the Wind is to
romance. George Romero found a way to re-invent terror with this
groundbreaking film that birthed an entire genre." -Doug Jones
(star of Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy 1&2, and Hocus Pocus) "The
zombie phenomena originally scratched its way out of the grave in
George Romero's Night of the Living Dead and now Romero is
surrounded by his [progeny] Jonathan Maberry and many other
talented-but-horrific folk to give the living dead another night in
which to scare the bejeezus out of all of us." -Chris Ryall,
creative director for IDW Comics, author of Zombies vs Robots
"Zombies? They're George's toys and we're all just playing with
them. Some kids play with them right, some don't. I hope when I've
played with them it's the former. Without NOTLD none of us would be
enamored of rotting, flesh-eating, zombies. We may bend the rules
to suit our needs, but he wrote the rules and we all owe him a
barge-load of gratitude." -Robert Fingerman, cartoonist and author
of Recess Pieces, and Pariah "George Romero is the Father of the
Living Dead. There would be no Walking Dead, Resident Evil, World
War Z, Zombieland, etc., without the template he created with the
landmark Night of the Living Dead in 1968. Romero set the standard
that continues to be copied to this day. You can't discuss the
modern zombie without acknowledging George Romero and his
immeasurable contributions to the genre." -Tony Timpone, Editor
Emeritus, Fangoria "Night Of The Living Dead didn't just invent the
zombie genre as we know it; it also established that genre's most
significant theme: that we, humanity, are more dangerous than the
undead." -Christos Gage, New York Times bestselling writer of
comics (Buffy, Spider-Man), television (Daredevil, Law & Order:
SVU), film and video games. "Romero's' imagination took the name
zombie from fairly obscure Haitian folklore practice, and
supercharged it with a new mythology that ultimately changed not
only the horror genre, it changed global pop culture. Decades after
Night of the Living Dead was released theatrically, the zombie
zeitgeist Romero created has spread like a virus, infecting books,
movies, TV, comics, animation, modern art, gaming, and even
academic paperwork. The actual worldwide zombie takeover, sparked
in 1968, has been unfolding into a very successful, multi-layered,
and gruesomely wonderful one." - Joyce Chin
