Crestwood House: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Crestwood House Season 2 comes to an end with a bang as Shawn takes the last pick and goes right for the jugular with 1968’s Night of the Living Dead! Directed by George Romero, NOTLD is an important film in horror cinema as it acts as a line of demarcation between classic and modern, living comfortably in both categories. It drew upon everything that came before and afterward it ushered in an era where horror would never be the same.

Join us as we discuss zombies, the importance of colorblind casting in horror, the cultural implications of the story and the film’s use of zombies as metaphor!
