I noticed that the grave (Clyde Myers) that they fought on was dated 1966 so he hadn't been in the ground for too much time when they were filming. How crazy would it be to show up to your loved one's grave and find out there is a movie scene being filmed right on top of it! Especially when that movie turned out to be one of the most iconic horror flicks in film industry!
I love this! I met Mr. Romero just a few years before he died, and I was allowed to pick his brain, and get his autograph, and ask about the making of NOTLD. Never thought I would go through all the sets like this! And I thank you and your lovely assistant (?) for the recreated scenes!
@@grimmlifecollective hey guys, pls find my comment on the main comment thread, the same date and time as this one. It's concerning an observation I made today concerning Johnny and his death and how it breaks all the rules and conventions of zombie lore. Thanks guys
You might like to join groups for George Romero's Night of the Living Dead...had annual festivals b4 covid.. buisiness built up the town.. There is return living dead fest at Monroeville mall this summer where Dawn of the Dead was made. John Russo cowrote NOTLD and still writes and goes to fests. I met him few times. The whole cast is awesome..rip to ones have past. Many actors, zombies took turns filiming, working crew.. pretty cool.
The zombie woman eating the cricket off of the tree, is the same actress who plays the mother of the turned zombie girl who kills her in the basement. She was a co-producer of the film and not only played multiple parts to help out, but she was also a costume designer on the film. Well done.
She was also their make up artist who did all the makeup for the film & that's why her zombie make up on her face in the film looks the most decayed & realistic ❤
Marilyn Eastman. Real life wife of Karl Hardman (who played Harry). These 2 wonderful people were amongst the NICEST people I have ever met. They used to come in to the Swissvale Blockbuster Video, way back in the early-mid 90s, when I managed it. (First time they ever walked in? My jaw dropped. I knew em as soon as they walked in to get a rental card.) At first? I was thinking "they HAVE to be sick and tired of people always talking to them about this movie, and I didn't want to annoy them, by acting like a fan boy, even though I did revere them). When their membership cards were finished laminating, I walked them over and said "here are your cards Harry and Helen Cooper'. They were like "you remember and recognize us?" (These 2 were as REAL as REAL could get. Humble and classy and extremely nice and like talking to a neighbor you have known for decades. Here I am. A 23 year old BBV manager dork, talking to 2 actors (and overall AMAZING People-all around), chatting for an hour about THIS very movie. Karl Hardman was so soft-spoken, and Marilyn Eastman was the definite talker. I was in awe. My staff had NO idea who they were, and when I showed them the back of the movie cover box? They were like "really? They Live Here?" Absolutely they did. A month later? My ex wife and I were invited to the ZombieFest in Monroeville, and got the honor of meeting most the original cast and makers of NOTLD and all the sequels. Tickets free, courtesy of the Hardmans. As a young kid (for the most part)...and up until my first born came along (when I was transferred to the Baum Blvd location), these 2 amazing people were such a joy to know. Thank you for letting a lifelong fan of this legendary film, be in your presence. And RIP to both Karl and Marilyn. 2 of the nicest "celebrities" (yet more like just AMAZING people) I ever met. Kyra Schon..be VERY proud of your amazing parents, ma'am.
I absolutely LOVE your videos!! You both are wonderful! And the information you provide is very informative. I myself am a Pittsburgh native. Born in the south hills and raised just south of the city in the Canonsburg area. I left PA when I was 22. I now live in Southern California east of Los Angeles. But I have never forgotten my Pittsburgh roots! Every Pittsburgh native knew they lived in “Zombie City”. I almost get emotional and choked up watching your footage. It’s home. Thank you!
Just subscribed.Im 65-years-old and i remember when NOTLD came out in theaters.It scared the hell out of everyone.Im sure you heard the rumors that people fainted or ran out of the theaters.Well,theyre true!!The music you hear when you first see the movie title is some of the spookiest ive ever heard.Romero had no idea how much of an impact that movie was going to have.Like your tours.
My friend's music was in the sequel in the 80s, so I got to go to the premier in LA. It was a blast. The actors would stand up and bow when their character was killed. A little person in a wheelchair who was missing limbs played a zombie. Charming guy, he would look at you and say, it could happen to you in a sing-song voice, then laugh. Fun.
Hi hooked on your videos I was born in Pittsburgh and a lot of my relatives still live there .My family years ago moved to Maryland. Back in 1968 I was 12 years old and me and my friends watched this movie about 10 times at the local theater it scared the hell out of us keep up the great Videos ! Always was a big George Romero fan
It's a personal rule with me that every Halloween I have to watch this movie, been a tradition that my dad and I had when growing up, it was our favorite movie. So I watch it every year in his honor.
Great stuff. I love it. It's nice seeing people of younger generations appreciating this iconic horror film, and I always love the vids like this where the original filming locations are revisited.
I just came across you fine folks randomly, really enjoying your youtube channel. As a Pittsburgh native and horror geek all my life, I've been so spoiled. If you haven't already, try to make it out to Monroeville mall too. While sadly it's VERY different now, you can still recognize some locations from Dawn. I actually was very blessed to meet Mr. Romero, his son opened up a tattoo parlor about ten minutes from my (old) home and he made a guess appearance at the opening. He was so kind and gracious and my GOD was he tall! I felt like Frodo next to him.
Great video man, The house was slated to be torn down as they were filming the movie and it was torn down within two weeks after filming....I watched a documentary and learned about it.
In October 1968 I was only 4 years old. My grandmother took me to a matinee to see it, thinking it was childish. She was shocked and we left early. I had nightmares afterwards. Even though I was so little at the time, I still recall the terror I felt while watching that thing. From what she told me, other people in the theater were leaving speechless, unable to process what they had just witnessed. Someone should have been sued at the time.
Just wanted to give a shout-out to you both for joining us in chat at Creature Features ( and also for being on the show ). Our chat family is growing, and we hope that you both will drop by again.
Very cool video. I live about 4-5 hours away from the cemetery and have been thinking about eventually taking a road trip to see the filming locations of this classic! If the chapel was unlocked, I would have loved to have seen the inside, even though the interior was never shown in the movie. So glad the chapel was saved by the fans.
My family remember them actually filming this movie while lived in Pittsburgh, Bethel Park. It was well advertised at the time, you may want to do a report on urban legend of "The Green Man" and how it got started,it was rumored that a man who was struck by lightning and turned green while his house burned to the ground from lighting. And was left was a chimney in the woods of south park in Pittsburgh P.A. just outside of Bethel Park. What I'm telling is just an Urban Legend, the real story is sad story of a man who got electrocuted as a boy and lived. I leave the rest up to you to find out what really happened and how it really ended.
watched this movie tonight on UA-cam with my mum jackie thank you so much for this video you two gorgeous people we loved it *glad we found it rachel from queensland australia
I was at the farmhouse during filming. I was just a toddler and my family had a cottage at nearby Camp Cowley. I have just a few memories of us spectators standing on the roadside at dusk. Also, my understanding is that the farmhouse burned down.
New Subscriber. I laughed my butt off at your reenactments! I first saw Night of the Living Dead in 1971 on Creature Features hosted by Bob Wilkins when I was 8 years old, and instantly fell in love with it! I always wanted to drive around and visit the filming locations to my favorite Horror & Sci-fi films and TV shows, but now I'll just watch you and your lovely lady do it. 🙂
Loved meeting yall at Fantasm! Y'all were both so kind and sweet to us, (total strangers who enjoy, and subscribe to your you tube channel) Thanks for your kind words about my Annabelle doll. Keep those fun videos coming! Bless y'all
Kyra Schon told me 16 years ago over MySpace the project actually began the filming phase in 1964, with scenes being shot and added until its completion in 1967. Upon its initial release in October 1968, it wasn't rated. Within the first month, people were so shocked by the violence, and the one nude zombie, the MPAA had to rate the movie. It was actually being shown at children's matinees for a month before theater owners realized it was definitely NOT a movie for the faint hearted, no less for children or anyone under 18 years of age, since NOTHING remotely like it had ever been released to theaters in the USA up until that point.
Great video guys. Love George's movies ever since I was a kid. All his movies have the best effects I've ever seen to this day. George's talent has yet to be matched.
Creepshow scared the hell out of me when I saw it as a kid and still scares the hell out of me to this day. One of my favorite Romero films to this day.
I know, right! The scene where the old guy comes out of the grave demanding his cake scared me *so much* as a kid. It was forever etched on my mind. It was one of those scenes that bothered me deeply. It *genuinely* scared me. I can't say that for many other films. To this day, it still strikes a chord. They don't make films like that anymore.
Oh man, this was such a great video. You two are awesome. It was just what I needed to get hyped up for the horror convention I am going to next weekend. Thanks!!
Found your channel the other day and love it! Very informative and interesting. BTW, the buds Jessica found are cicadas, or locusts as we call them. They come out every seventeen years in different areas by the millions to mate.
Great job on this video! I also really enjoyed the two of you acting out the scenes like that. You two did a great job being informative about all the locations but also added a nice touch of humor too. Well done!
To think, that the whole zombie movie phenomena might have never happened if Mr. Romero had *remembered* to have put the trademark symbol in the title! Amazing how one tiny detail changed the course of cinematic history.
Loved the video. I live about an hour away, and really want to get out there some day to check out the cemetery. I hope you guys do a Dawn Of The Dead locations video as well. Just watched your Q&A video and you said you did do a Dawn locations video. Can't wait to see it!
I,m a first time viewer of your channel you guys were great. I have "Night of the living Dead" on DVD I sometimes watch it on Friday or Saturday night.
My first husband took me on a date to see “Night of the Living Dead” and I loved it! It turned me into what I still am today, A Horror Lover! Thanks for the trip down memory lane Mike and Jess, and Jess you look absolutely beautiful with your hair that way! ❤️
I saw the movie in 1968. It was the first horror movie that really scared me. It looked at the start of the movie to be another unremarkable black and white sixties horror film. When the first zombie attacks them in the graveyard, I knew that I was in for something special.
So funny I was just thinking about this movie wondering if you had a video of it.....what pops up in my suggested video feed! This! Love it! Love the channel
Just discovered your channel over the weekend and LOVE it! So many great videos, I've been watching them since yesterday. I loved this one especially; the re-enactments were hilarious! Looking forward to going through more of your videos, and looking forward to new posts as well.
They're coming to get you Barb-bah-rah! George Romero started it ALL, Every Zombie movie should give thanks to Mr. Romero! there may not be ANY Zombie movies without this movie and George Romero! What started out as a low budget movie made loads of cash, and made future movies like this possible, RIP Mr. Romero
You both are so much fun and clever. I joined your site a couple of weeks ago, and I appreciate your fresh take on the topics you dive into and your knowledge of all things macabre in popular culture!!! I learn a lot from your videos. I get invigorated for my favorite holiday, Halloween. Thank you so much.
I lived in an old PA farmhouse for 20 years and the basement was creepy AF. Dirt floor, dark and dank, we even found bones in it. The basement in the movie looked like a penthouse compared to what the real one must have looked like. During the film, if you look closely you can see ductwork and some high-end electric. Definitely not old house stuff, which was probably glass fuses with knob and tube. Great video...
We love you two so much. You two make the cutest couple. We are so thrilled we ran across your Channel. You put a creepy smile on our face everyday. We're going to miss you here from Florida. Just make sure next time you come back you come visit us in Sarasota. Keep up the good work... much love stay safe keep scaring.xoxoxo
I won't lie, I've only been subscribed to your channel for about a week after stumbling across one of your videos, and I've become hooked. You guys acting scenes is absolutely epic 😅 I'd love a whole movie of it. Much love to you both from the UK, & take care.
The circumstances and time under which I first saw NOLD made and keep it as probably the most disturbing movie I've ever seen...and that was back in '73. Loved this tour. Also loved the clips from-is it a remake-of NOLD? Filming in original locations, a stroke of genius and who are these stunning new actors? This is pure talent people, keep an eye on these two.
y'all are the best! thank you for this. i saw this the first time in a drive-in when i was 18 yrs old! scared the shit out of me...took many others to see this masterpiece!! i remember loving the fact that when she falls down (as we ALL do, right?), they allowed her to have enough brains to kick off those damn heels and keep running! they also had the nerve to make the lead protagonist a black man. truly ahead of it's time, and quite shocking for that.
That part where you guys reenacted the encounter with a zombie in the cemetery was PRICELESS! Looks like the basis for a full movie spoof. This is one of my favorite movies.
HELL-o from virus-ridden Las Vegas. Thanks for the tour, I really liked it. You two are really pretty good at the lines. Not bad acting. Who ever downvoted, I hope you get really bad malware on your device.
Oh my Gods you're reenacting it made me laugh so hard I was crying 😂😂😂 Her face when you're trying to break the window? PRICELESS! Thanks for the laugh and I am DEFINITELY subscribing
Good job researching and portrayal. Makes me want to travel to Evans City, PA! To anyone who hasn't seen NOTLD, it's a MUST WATCH. (My mind is still blown over the twist at the end!)
I'm a HUGE Romero fan..Night Of The Living Dead got me into horror and my fascination with zombie movies! I've been lucky enough to meet cast from Night Of The Living Dead and even luckier to meet cast from Dawn Of The Dead and spend a 3 day weekend in the Monroeville mall for Dawn's 40th anniversary for the annual Living Dead Weekend Monroeville edition. That was the best 3 days ever. I got to go on the after hours mall tour and see some normally off limits film spots. Sorry I'm rambling...very cool that you attended the Land Of The Dead premier!!
I was at the 50th Anniversary screening of NOLD at the Byham theater. It was great to see and watch the film with the surviving cast members present. Evans City Cemetery is a great visit!
I may represent Las Vegas on social media and I may currently live in New Orleans but I spent a large majority of my teens/20s in Allegheny County. I grew up on the zombie scene and ended up making a lot of friends who worked on this and every other zombie movie in Pittsburgh. I was part of the team to raise money to restore the Evans City Cemetery chapel. I met some of my closet friends through zombies. 🖤
Great video, and yinz crack me up! There used to me a kind of make shift museum dedicated to NOTLD (and I believe a few other Romero pics too) at Monroeville Mall in Monroeville PA, which is about 15-20 mins east of Pittsburgh. Sadly, it's been gone for some time now.
I feel your pain. I'm so glad my significant other watches all of the films I'm obsessed with. Universal Monsters, Hammer Horror, Amicus, Zombie flicks, etc. I've been with women who refuse, and it's not fun. Sending positive vibes your way (either to put a spell on your girl, or to trade her in for someone you can share your interests with).
In 1968 when the film came out, i was 14 years old, i don't count the number of nightmares , i did after seeing it!!! Thank you for your great work! You both are very good actors!!! I still have shivers!!! Happy Halloween! Denis from.France...
Jessica had some Cicada bugs that make that buzzing noise in the trees. They don't live very long, after they mate, they usually die, but they are really cool looking bugs. I found a few that were alive and they're kinda creepy to see, especially when they fly near you. They sound and look like a "huge" horse fly.
My brother lives, I think not very far from there. He has a Mars, PA address. Cranberry is a big metropolis now in days, can't understand why, and how they get out of having to pay for emissions on their cars and trucks, yet us folks here in Beaver County have to pay for this ridiculous stuff when we aren't growing at all, still rural country life with no industrial growth except that refining plant that's by the Beaver Valley Mall which, like other malls in the country is dying.
Night of the living dead was the first scary movie i saw when i was a kid in the 80's so i love this video, my parents said they saw the movie back in 68' at the drive in when they were young
I noticed that the grave (Clyde Myers) that they fought on was dated 1966 so he hadn't been in the ground for too much time when they were filming. How crazy would it be to show up to your loved one's grave and find out there is a movie scene being filmed right on top of it! Especially when that movie turned out to be one of the most iconic horror flicks in film industry!
That was fun, I love the reenactments from the scenes of the movie. Don't sell your acting skills short, Jessica so beautiful.
She's totally sweet and adorable.

I’m glad we were of some help. Have fun...enjoy!

Good job! That movie terrified me as a teenager .I saw it in 1974 at a local drive in movie theater. I was too scared to go to the bathroom!
What about Twilight?

The farmhouse was already scheduled to be torn down, when they filmed, from what I recall, what they said during an interview. It was condemned.

Tom Savini's remake is quite good, particularly in the way he recasts Barbara.

I lived and raised my family about 10 miles from Evans City where some of your family lived. We were there when”Night.” Was being filmed!
Great job on this video! I also really enjoyed the two of you acting out the scenes like that. You two did a great job being informative about all the locations but also added a nice touch of humor too. Well done!
This is Definitely one of my Favorite Movies. Watched so many Times. I Really Enjoyed your Reenactment. Great Video
You guys are amazing!!
Love watching your videos.
So awesome too see another couple so into movies like we are.
To think, that the whole zombie movie phenomena might have never happened if Mr. Romero had *remembered* to have put the trademark symbol in the title! Amazing how one tiny detail changed the course of cinematic history.
Yes.. Bitter sweet for GR and all of us hard core fans
According to GAR it was Latent Images mistake the film not being copyrighted.
Love how you're wife kept walking past the camera back and forth behind you then off camera 😂
she's cute :)

This video was exceptional! Thank you again sir and Baby Goul! Always a pleasure to watch your videos and to listen to your commentary.
Loved the video. I live about an hour away, and really want to get out there some day to check out the cemetery. I hope you guys do a Dawn Of The Dead locations video as well. Just watched your Q&A video and you said you did do a Dawn locations video. Can't wait to see it!
I,m a first time viewer of your channel you guys were great. I have "Night of the living Dead" on DVD I sometimes watch it on Friday or Saturday night.
I’m*
@@Tomboyy9818 - Perfect.
great b/w filming and acting , great job guys. that was a fun one! thank you.
My first husband took me on a date to see “Night of the Living Dead” and I loved it! It turned me into what I still am today, A Horror Lover! Thanks for the trip down memory lane Mike and Jess, and Jess you look absolutely beautiful with your hair that way! ❤️
I saw the movie in 1968. It was the first horror movie that really scared me. It looked at the start of the movie to be another unremarkable black and white sixties horror film. When the first zombie attacks them in the graveyard, I knew that I was in for something special.
Glad I found your channel. You guys are into all the horror stuff I love. Great video and awesome vibe on your channel.
So funny I was just thinking about this movie wondering if you had a video of it.....what pops up in my suggested video feed! This! Love it! Love the channel
That log cabin looks like it would be a good spot for another horror film 🎥. Nice job, you guys. Thanks.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this!! Discovered your channel recently and through you, have helped me on this tour!!
Your reenactment was classic. Loved this one.
Just discovered your channel over the weekend and LOVE it! So many great videos, I've been watching them since yesterday. I loved this one especially; the re-enactments were hilarious! Looking forward to going through more of your videos, and looking forward to new posts as well.
They're coming to get you Barb-bah-rah!
George Romero started it ALL,
Every Zombie movie should give thanks to Mr. Romero! there may not be ANY Zombie movies without this movie and George Romero!
What started out as a low budget movie made loads of cash, and made future movies like this possible, RIP Mr. Romero
Their unbridled enthusiasm is so charming...love this stuff...keep it coming Bub
I’m so proud to be a PA boy, knowing all my fav movies have been filmed here haha
I worked in cemetery's for over a decade.. it's the one place that will still look pretty much the same even after a hundred years has passed.
Another amazingly spooky glimpse of horror culture. Thanks for sharing your content!
Night of the Living Dead is my favorite horror movie, My favorite line it goes: They're going to get you Barbara, They're coming for you Barbara!
You both are so much fun and clever. I joined your site a couple of weeks ago, and I appreciate your fresh take on the topics you dive into and your knowledge of all things macabre in popular culture!!! I learn a lot from your videos. I get invigorated for my favorite holiday, Halloween. Thank you so much.
I lived in an old PA farmhouse for 20 years and the basement was creepy AF. Dirt floor, dark and dank, we even found bones in it. The basement in the movie looked like a penthouse compared to what the real one must have looked like. During the film, if you look closely you can see ductwork and some high-end electric. Definitely not old house stuff, which was probably glass fuses with knob and tube. Great video...
We love you two so much. You two make the cutest couple. We are so thrilled we ran across your Channel. You put a creepy smile on our face everyday. We're going to miss you here from Florida. Just make sure next time you come back you come visit us in Sarasota. Keep up the good work... much love stay safe keep scaring.xoxoxo
You had fun making this. I had fun watching. I was just at the cemetery yesterday. I had to make my pilgrimage.
This is awesome! So entertaining, thanks for the dedication you guys put into these gems. And Jessica's background antics are icing on the cake.
I was thinking the same thing.
Awesome vid. Its really nice to see the locations after 51 years. Thanks for uploading.
Awesome! I lived in Evans City in the 1990s. I had/have/whatever an in-law buried in that cemetary.
@THESATURNSSC1 she passed away, and I divorced my ex. :)
I won't lie, I've only been subscribed to your channel for about a week after stumbling across one of your videos, and I've become hooked. You guys acting scenes is absolutely epic 😅 I'd love a whole movie of it. Much love to you both from the UK, & take care.
The circumstances and time under which I first saw NOLD made and keep it as probably the most disturbing movie I've ever seen...and that was back in '73. Loved this tour. Also loved the clips from-is it a remake-of NOLD? Filming in original locations, a stroke of genius and who are these stunning new actors? This is pure talent people, keep an eye on these two.
Great movie and great video tour by you guys! The intro scene is my favorite, I'm glad you covered it!
Rewatching this after watching original, I also LOVE the 90s remake by Savini!
Tom is a genius!
Night of the Living Dead is a Halloween tradition. I live in Butler and have been to Evans City Cemetery many times. I have ancestors there.
Loved the video. I'm located in Pittsburgh and 2 years ago decided to take a visit to Evans City cemetary. Loved your girlfriends dress!
y'all are the best! thank you for this. i saw this the first time in a drive-in when i was 18 yrs old! scared the shit out of me...took many others to see this masterpiece!! i remember loving the fact that when she falls down (as we ALL do, right?), they allowed her to have enough brains to kick off those damn heels and keep running! they also had the nerve to make the lead protagonist a black man. truly ahead of it's time, and quite shocking for that.
That part where you guys reenacted the encounter with a zombie in the cemetery was PRICELESS! Looks like the basis for a full movie spoof. This is one of my favorite movies.
HELL-o from virus-ridden Las Vegas.
Thanks for the tour, I really liked it.
You two are really pretty good at the lines. Not bad acting. Who ever downvoted, I hope you get really bad malware on your device.
Oh my Gods you're reenacting it made me laugh so hard I was crying 😂😂😂 Her face when you're trying to break the window? PRICELESS! Thanks for the laugh and I am DEFINITELY subscribing
Good job researching and portrayal.
Makes me want to travel to Evans City, PA!
To anyone who hasn't seen NOTLD, it's a MUST WATCH.
(My mind is still blown over the twist at the end!)
Fantastic! I would totally watch the 2 of you in a horror movie, the bits you did here were fun!
I'm a HUGE Romero fan..Night Of The Living Dead got me into horror and my fascination with zombie movies! I've been lucky enough to meet cast from Night Of The Living Dead and even luckier to meet cast from Dawn Of The Dead and spend a 3 day weekend in the Monroeville mall for Dawn's 40th anniversary for the annual Living Dead Weekend Monroeville edition. That was the best 3 days ever. I got to go on the after hours mall tour and see some normally off limits film spots. Sorry I'm rambling...very cool that you attended the Land Of The Dead premier!!
Wonderful video with many background info we would otherwise never have known. Top.
loving baby ghoul just passing the camera in the intro .. proper class !
Not sure if anyone has said it yet but, “They’re coming to get you Barbara!”
I LOVE THIS ALL TIME CLASSIC MOVIE I STILL LOOK AT THIS ALL TIME CLASSIC MOVIE I LOVE WHEN JOHNNY TELLS BARBARA THEY COMING FOR YOU
I was at the 50th Anniversary screening of NOLD at the Byham theater. It was great to see and watch the film with the surviving cast members present. Evans City Cemetery is a great visit!
I may represent Las Vegas on social media and I may currently live in New Orleans but I spent a large majority of my teens/20s in Allegheny County. I grew up on the zombie scene and ended up making a lot of friends who worked on this and every other zombie movie in Pittsburgh. I was part of the team to raise money to restore the Evans City Cemetery chapel. I met some of my closet friends through zombies. 🖤
Great video, and yinz crack me up! There used to me a kind of make shift museum dedicated to NOTLD (and I believe a few other Romero pics too) at Monroeville Mall in Monroeville PA, which is about 15-20 mins east of Pittsburgh. Sadly, it's been gone for some time now.
Y'all are so cool man! Chilly Billy would be proud.
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ZOMBIE!!
I remember staying up late Friday nights to watch Chilly Billy Cardilly! 😂🤣😂🤣😈👹👿Fun times!
I was born in 68 . I was born a fan . I've been in love with the flick since the 1st time I saw it . Your vid is fun nostalgic. Thank you very much .
You found an amazing woman
I can't get my girl to watch the mummy
Never mind a zombie movie
I feel your pain. I'm so glad my significant other watches all of the films I'm obsessed with. Universal Monsters, Hammer Horror, Amicus, Zombie flicks, etc. I've been with women who refuse, and it's not fun. Sending positive vibes your way (either to put a spell on your girl, or to trade her in for someone you can share your interests with).
In 1968 when the film came out, i was 14 years old, i don't count the number of nightmares , i did after seeing it!!! Thank you for your great work! You both are very good actors!!! I still have shivers!!! Happy Halloween! Denis from.France...
Love the acting remakes haha ❤
Jessica had some Cicada bugs that make that buzzing noise in the trees. They don't live very long, after they mate, they usually die, but they are really cool looking bugs. I found a few that were alive and they're kinda creepy to see, especially when they fly near you. They sound and look like a "huge" horse fly.
I'm from Evans City and this video makes me happy! lol
My brother lives, I think not very far from there. He has a Mars, PA address. Cranberry is a big metropolis now in days, can't understand why, and how they get out of having to pay for emissions on their cars and trucks, yet us folks here in Beaver County have to pay for this ridiculous stuff when we aren't growing at all, still rural country life with no industrial growth except that refining plant that's by the Beaver Valley Mall which, like other malls in the country is dying.
just watched this on my work break.brilliant and very well done.
I laughed so hard at you being the zombie doing the pee wee Herman dance lol
Good stuff!
Night of the living dead was the first scary movie i saw when i was a kid in the 80's so i love this video, my parents said they saw the movie back in 68' at the drive in when they were young
Same. I loved the dawn of the dead and it is one of my all time favorite.
