#RIP to a true TITAN of the horror genre... very few people can claim to have STARTED a whole sub-genre on their own. George Romero was definitely one of those people. You guys love zombies in everything... Walking Dead, Shaun of the Dead, IZombie and the such... well without this gentleman right here you would have NONE OF THAT!!! Not only did he start the zombie genre, but he was one of the first directors in ANY GENRE (definitely in horror) to cast a black man in the lead of his movie. Duane Jones was breaking down doors and laying groundwork for future generations of minority actors to come... and he was doing it in a low budget horror flick!!! Outside of zombie movies GR was still a king. Creepshow, Martin, Knightriders, Monkey Shines, Two Evil Eyes, The Crazies... the list goes on and on!!! 77 years was not enough. You will be missed!!! #RIPGeorgeRomero #RestINPeace #CCDNYC #CCD #NightOfTheLivingDead #Zombies #KingOfTheZombies
