Description

October 29 - Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. - Scheduled to show on 35mm film, courtesy of the Branigin Film Library - Onsale for members 9/10; for the general public, on 9/17 at 1 p.m.


What it is: When the bodies of the newly deceased rise and begin attacking the living, a group of survivors find themselves banding together - or fighting with each other - in a remote Pennsylvania farmhouse.


Why we're showing it: With Night of the Living Dead, writer/director George Romero created an entirely new subgenre of horror - the modern zombie film. Terrifying audiences since 1968, this film still holds up as one of the best zombie films of all time.
