Hello
Hi James good day to you :)
Hello
Which bear is the most condescending? A pan-duh!
Sunday Sunday Sunday a brand new kill count
Fun Fact: The zombies in this movie were played by living people because real zombies don't take direction very well.
Have you tried asking nicely?
Or have you tried the Shaun of the Dead way?
I heard they were very hard to work with
but isn't that cultural appropriation?
@@Michelrs yeah. But sadly the zombies Romero hired weren’t very corporative
I hope James doesn't delete the originals. They are the history of this channel.
The original video appears to currently be unlisted, so it's likely that the originals will also be deleted. Sad.
@@brockbuster unlisted doesn’t mean deleted. All original videos will still be accessible via links in the description of the new videos
@@jourdynne27 And also on playlists of all the kill counts
He said he will unlist and keep a link to them in the description, they aint going down any time soon
@@wandergaming7936 I’m sure he won’t since there’s always going to be a few horror moves coming out each year, and you can’t forget about the long international list of horror movies that could be covered. So there will always be enough material for kill counts - it’s just now wondering how long James will continue to do them.
From the context of the time, I'm sure many people were annoyed by Barbara's catatonic state and being the 'damsel in distress', but from a modern perspective I actually do like that it shows that not everyone will turn into a badass come the apocalypse. Some people really do experience trauma by choosing the 'freeze' portion of 'fight, flight or freeze'. I found Ben's care and protection of her, even though she was a strange woman he didn't know, to be very touching. Some people do not respond to trauma or stress well, and that does not make them any less worthy of survival.
It's also realistic that someone like Barbara would freeze up. Her introduction to this apocalypse was her brother's death, which to her probably seemed like an outright homicide at the time. She didn't even know what was happening. Ben's introduction is a bit more stereotypically apocalyptic and he was forced to take action, as well as presumably never being around anyone important to him the way Barbara was. Ben entered the outbreak by killing a ton of the undead in one major attack. Barbara was forced to run, Ben was forced to fight; so they react very differently as the apocalypse begins to set in.
Very true !
Even though he doesn’t know her, he still has to help her.
If I may, to be fair, she helped at least barricade the house after a pep talk, so we gotta at least give her that.
@Bradthepagan18 1990s Barbara starts off useless and pulls herself together. I think that is the most likely scenario.
God, I can't imagine how terrifying a zombie story would be if I didn't already know what a zombie is. I wish I could have seen this before it became such a well known genre with relatively well-defined rules.
That’s how I feel about The Exorcist. Possession movies are so common now. I wish I could watch that movie with no prior knowledge of demon possession films at all. I can imagine how truly terrifying that would be.
Yeah now zombies are just "generic monster number 6". Some movies and videogames try to change this by doing the "my zombies are different" trope but it still doesn't scare you as much as when you see your first zombie media.
I just watched this last night for the first time and I've already seen TWD, Dawn/Shawn/Army of the Dead, and 28 Days Later. This is definitely my favorite one now, Ben's death made my mouth drop!
We all start somewhere. I remember my first zombie movie as a kid. It was Return of the Living Dead and pretty new to me at the time.
homie i hate to break it to you, the zombie genre has no rules, if you compare the walking dead(slow, easy to avoid zombies, usually long infection times) to left 4 dead(sprinting zombies, mutations and an unknown infection time) its obvious the “rules” get thrown out so much, i mean look at train to busan, they break their own rules, it takes the first girl at least 10+ mins to turn, then it takes someone under 3 mins and then again someone can fight turning bc of willpower or smth
“And Chelsea uses it to learn about the Tudor dynasty. Like the queen that she is.” Can y’all not be so cute with each other for like 5 seconds god damn.
They are goals, so no they can not
I’m just gonna say it
James is a simp
@@obadiahkendall9773 ???
@@obadiahkendall9773 a simp for his own wife?
@@derekhemmings1693 I'm pretty sure it was meant as a joke 😅
I know Barbara is a bit of a disappointing protagonist, but I’d argue that she’s one of the few sympathetic portrayals of a person in shock in the entire horror genre. I also find it interesting that Ben is the only one who genuinely seems concerned for her welfare, makes me like him even more.
Agreed
In addition to this, I found it interesting that out of all the zombies that could have killed her, it was her brother that genuinely got to her - mentally & emotionally - paralyzing her with dread until she was pulled into the crowd.
I just hate I was so dissapointed how the Cops/freedom fighters shot Ben know damn wellhe wasnt a zombie.
Belle-Chan To be fair the cops didn’t know he was human which is why he died, it sucks I wish Ben would’ve shouted at them so they knew he wasn’t a zombie😭
@@Himurochan599 they didn't know, they only saw him in the window and mistook him for the undead
If only he screamed at them that he wasn't a zombie, there is a chance he could've survived
I love how Ben actually catches himself when he tries to get Barbara to do something he tries to yell at her at first but then realizes with how terrified she was yelling at her in anger would only create more problems so he catches himself and talks to her in a calming tone as the situation needed him to be calm to get her moving
You’re evolved a lot since your first videos. From simple kill counts videos for horror movies, became mini documentary that tells a lot about the production of the movies, their director, the actor, interesting facts about both classic and new horror masterpieces, I hope this channel continues to grow so more horror fans can take a look at it!
This channels just hit 5 milion subs
Q
What I love about Romero picking the black actor, is that he didn’t pick him because he was black, it was because he was the best
Edit: made people real mad for not agreeing so deleted my comments but that’s what I get for disagreeing with film people about race as a black person
@@Lc-Anders he said he loved the fact, not the reason he loved Romero
@@Lc-Anders considering the time period, that's actually a high bar.
@@Lc-Anders Dude, that'd be like saying casting Sigourney Weaver as Ripley in Alien is a low bar because they wrote the entire script for that movie in a non-binary, nonracial fashion. They just got people who they thought would be wonderful in the movie regardless of what they were.
@@Lc-Anders Not much to lose? He got backlash for it at the time, as James said, some theaters refused to show it. You have to put things in perspective of the time period when looking back on history.
everybody gangsta until James makes a kill count on Freddy vs Jason for the third time
Lmao
to be fair though. ive never watched the Friday films or nightmare so for me this is like ascending to valhala
I'd be ok with that but I hope he covers the 1st 3 Hellraiser movies eventually.
@@666ZX bruuuh I've been craving for that for years now
And fourth lol
My grandmother on my mom’s side is in this movie. She plays one of the zombies in a crowd shot. She’s in her 70’s now and she was hippie back then who smoked cigarettes while they applied makeup.
That is really awesome.
That’s awesome
What's her name if she is in the film?
@@ihaveaweirdnotsolonguserna5270 Nana M1911
@@JBubba her name should be in the credits
That ending 😢 Ben is an icon
I know. Ben was such a Chad
fr
My dad lived near that farmhouse, and they actually passed by it on their ways to and from the theater to watch this movie. It spooked him, he was one of the kids who watched this and was terrified
Wtf that’s really cool
That's AWESOMENESS
I’d be horrified to even enter that place (tho, that wouldn’t stop me as it’d just be too awesome of an opportunity for me to simply pass out on)
@@LG-dr6kc I'd explore it given the chance. From what he told me, they just watched it fearfully from the road.
@@haythebug5290 even if they didn’t enter the place, I imagine it must’ve been really awesome to be able to even take a good look at it
Ben deserves more credit as an iconic horror film hero.
To bad Duane Jones's career didn't take off, he was a great actor.
Along with Ash from evil dead, I'd say he's the only iconic horror character that isn't the villain.
@@junkhead_92 Kurt Russell's MacReady from John Carpenter's The Thing was very bad ass too.
@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 true, great movie too by the way
@@junkhead_92 Tommy Jarvis, from Friday the 13th, and Sydney, from Scream, are pretty iconic too.
He was in Ganja & Hess, a crazy vampire flick from 1973.
I've always loved Ben as a horror movie character! He's the one making the smart decisions, trying to get Barbara to get a Flippin grip and just trying to get shit done ✔
It was sad seeing Ben trying to stop Barbara when she was running to her zombie brother. At the door
God damn I respect Romero so much for having a black protagonist who's just a regular good guy, that's a big deal for the 60s
Especially since he apparently didn't cast him due to race at all, just because he was a good actor. That's awesome
It’s pretty rare to see the main hero of your movie die in it. But it was so impactful the way those guys killed Ben. They thought he was a zombie judging by his appearance. This is a scene that perfectly echos the dark times America was going through in the late 60s.
That's why i really like scarface, tony montana dies.
I disagree. In horror movies in general the main hero dies quite often.
@@DogOfHades true, but if you look at the bigger picture of all genres, main guy deaths are a fair bit of a rarity.
@@s0uverains95 I agree. OP never mentions "Horror Movies" either just movies in general.
@@badzi4200 damn right
Damn. Night absolutely deserves this kill count. The movie still has it's moments a little over 50 years later. There's still chilling moments in it, especially if you put yourself in the time it was released. Glad you revisited it and gave it the love it deserved. Can not fucking wait for the next 2 (and Shaun)
Yup
Your name gives me life
I like sleepaway camp
It's amazing.
And return
agreed!
This movie has a huge soft spot in my heart, my husband was in our high school's play of this movie. He was hoping to play Ben, of course. Watching this play made me have a huge crush on him, and we started dating shortly after. It's hard not love this classic masterpiece, really changed movies just like Jaws did.
your school did a zombie play? best school ever
@@InitialPC yeah that sounds sick
That’s a really cute love story
That's a great story to tell. Imagine someone asks how you met and you just say "he was in a zombie play in school and I already liked him" So cute!! 💗
That's so sweet!
I love how your mom's method of comforting you about Tom's and Judy's deaths was to liken their corpses to...fried chicken.
You count whomever you wanna count James, zombies, skellies, robots, whatevs. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s here for your commentary, jokes and generally entertaining content rather than just a number.
Thank you.
But never bastard skellies.
@@DeadMeat I'm now calling all minecraft skeletons this.
@Jonathan Solis E-mail it to him instead of commenting, he says so in the pinned comment.
But NEVER sequel sharks.
Correct.
James should call his renewed videos the “Kill Count : RECOUNT”.
Oooh I just might
That’s a good idea
@chase taylor okay ?
@@randomguy1964 I’m pretty sure Chase was saying it as a good thing lol
trashramen you are now a part of history.
Ben remains one of my all time favorite characters. To this day I still watch the end through my hands.
My dad said the same thing about tom and judy to comfort me, but instead of fried chicken it was carne asada😂
Ah a cultured man of taste
Taste better
"in august, i'll be recounting the entire friday the 13th series"
this. this is what we needed in 2021
Agreed. Super pumped for it lol
Yeah we needed that. 2021 has been such a boring year.
I know! My favorite franchise is getting a proper kill count! Sad that it’s still 3 months away tho 😂😭
Just hope they dont get age restricted
The ending to this movie is absolutely TRAGIC and I think that's part of what makes it SO good
A-are you a member?
Yeah
@@rancidmoldybacon Si.
You know i just dont get why people think black people were you know some animalistic race they arent there culture is just different buy theyre still beutiful on their own way
Not as tragic as Batwoman though.
Duane Jones was easily the best actor in this movie. One of the main reasons that makes this movie so impactful. His performance just seemed real and believable. No offense to the other actors but you could tell it was just "acting".
So good they named a walking dead character after him.
@@ThermometerNH I have never caught that, really nice catch.
I live in Pennsylvania and I'm honored to live 10 minutes away from the cemetery where this film took place!!!
Are u from Pittsburgh
Which means you're also pretty close to the Monroeville Mall where Romero filmed Dawn.
Side note, James says "Go Panthers" at 7:28. As a Pitt alumni, I really appreciate it, but actually Romero went next door to CMU... But to be fair, who wants to say "Go Tartans"? It's a fabric pattern, not a mascot. It's not a color either, Carnegie Mellon, you silly nerds.
"You can't throw a stone in a video store at all. They don't exist anymore" That sh*t hurt me real good.
I don’t get it
@@bleepblock2177 too young
yknow i grew up like just as video stores stop being a thing and Netflix and movie streaming services became the new thing
like i never went to one but i rememeber passing by video stores a lot when i went out as a kid and know i goby those same places and they are like a clothes shop or something
There are still Family Videos around the U.S (the only surviving chain video store franchise left). Was gonna work at one near where I live once turned 16. Got shut down like 2 months before I did, really sad
Same here, I used to dream of owning a video store so I can have countless films to watch when I was in primary school.
James: "Chelsea uses it to learn about the Tudor Dynasty. Like the queen that she is."
Smooth James, very smooth.
That ending trailer surprised me a lot
The eyebrow game when he says it really pushes it over the edge.
Man Night of The Living Dead has to be one of the best and most important American films in history the weight this thing carries never diminishes I loved this video James can't wait for the next two

@@charliefinnmichael4770 sadly bill hinzman died
Holy shit! Poor guy, it’s awesome that someone came to his aid and saved him!
Ben is a MVP survivor, every horror movie would be ten times better if he was there.
Yeah standing in the window with half your body showing not covering as armed men line up their shot is MVP tacticz
@@OoToxiToxioO And I'm guessing he was supposed to immediately know that armed men would be outside at a long range and notice them?
A true MVP, just not a survivor.
Ah yes, the movie that plays in the background of ever other horror movie. I think that makes it the ultimate horror classic.
It’s because it’s public domain but yeah it’s still a classic

Never knew that this film was the origin of the concept for zombie films. I genuinely love these Kill Counts because they're entertaining, they basically summarize the majority of the film and they're educational at the same time

Yep zombies existed but were more based in voodoo lore as opposed to flesh eating monsters.
This movie actually really got to my dad. He was pretty much left alone in the theater as a kid
No wonder I subconsciously avoided watching this movie's original kill count, that ending is truly heartbreaking....
I do believe that the Friday the 13th franchise deserves the more lively sounds of James behind it.

no doubt, been a big treat to watch JAJ evolve as a presenter. Maybe he can host the Oscars and help make them relevant again.
When I saw the reveal of the Friday remake kill counts I broke the window in happiness, when i saw shaun of the dead
I jumped out the window in extreme excitement
In the play version it ends with the entire sheriff posse getting eaten by the zombies.
Big respect for James for doing this again that's a lot of extra work.
yup, kudos to him. I hope this video gets more views than the original kill count, because this is an important film and we gotta support James and his great work.
I love that he’s doing reboots because he always hints that he knows his old ones weren’t as good as his new ones so i’m glad he’s finally getting to them. I love James.
My first zombie movie as a kid was this one.
I was born in 2001, so I'm surprised it was.
My dad was the one who had the movie.
I remember being scared of this movie after watching it that I tried to hide the DVD away from my dad so we don't watch it anymore, lmao.
That’s pretty cool that’s this was your first zombie movie in this day and age. I feel like that’s rare. My husband is almost 30 and hates black and white movies so he’s never seen it.
same! I was born in 2001 too! this was my first zombie movie when I was a kid and got scared and watching this movie alone did not help. I'm so glad to watch this as my first zombie movie.
Mine was either Resident Evil: Apocalypse or Zack Snyder's Dawn Of the Dead
My first zombie movie was return of the living dead because my grandma thought it was a cartoon based om the box cover when we rented it from blockbuster when I was 4
The fact that they killed off ben 😭 I actually can't 😭
I honestly can't believe how far James has come. I remember when he quit his job and how happy he was. I surprisingly... don't quite remember the OG Night Kill Count but it's so nice to see it again as a reboot.
What
James is such a great person. And I’m so proud of how far the channel has come, he deserves every inch of success he gets
I like how Shaun of the dead was basically written about an episode of spaced spliced with Shaun and nicks actual lives

As a subscriber since the Friday the thirteenth part 3, I’m really excited for the redo. Have watched literally every episode since the beginning and it’s been an absolute blast seeing the journey, keep it up :)
In hindsight, the cemetery zombie really is historic. The unsettling mouth curl, shambling movement, and cunning use of tools to kill so brutally yet effectively. I’m surprised he isn’t a horror icon.

It’s always funny seeing old horror movies that were once considered so horrifying. I remember my parents showing me jaws for the first time and I, a massive animal nerd born in 2001, was like “this isn’t scary, it’s just a shark that looks very fake.” Crazy how times change.
I was born in 1982 and it was the same. I remember my father telling me he was terrified as a kid of Bela Lugosi’s portrayal of Dracula. I was dumbfounded as to how he could be scared of something so lame, compared to Freddy or Jason hell even Jaws. Weird how each generation becomes more and more callous to some things.
Freaks (1932) is pretty scary imo.
Jaws will always be scary for me because of the opening scene. and Quint's death. Both freaked me out as a kid.
@@moonooze6171 That reminds me of a cartoon - the Ducktales reboot, I think - where a bunch of actual monsters like vampires and witches have to dress up like puppets and clowns in order to scare people in the modern day.
They knew it looked fake that’s why they only showed it when they absolutely had to
What an amazing production James, love the research and especially the phrasing of the opening, it truly reflects the amount of work that was put into making such an amazing episode.
When he said he's going to redo the Friday films I yelled "lets goooo" so loud everyone in my house heard me. I love this show!
"Oh and also, they are dead"
Yeah, this cracks me up like no other idk why 😂😂😂
I truly appreciate all of the hard work that you put into these episodes and the trailers.Thank you all so much!
If a bucket can kill Tommy in Carrie, a gravestone can surely kill Johnny. 😋
I lived a mile below in Evans City for a few months. I remember to get to the cemetery, you drive over the train tracks and keep heading up for half a mile, then turn onto the winding road to the entrance of the cemetery. . As you drive up and get out of your car in that cemetery...it's not hard to find why George filmed there. No wind, no breeze...just ...silence. No wind was the creepiest part. I would have to drive up there at around 3AM on my paper route to deliver to the local cops who patrolled up there. I wouldn't recommend going into a cemetary at 3Am. lol
James: i decided to count zombie deaths
Me after seeing what he went through while counting double tap: oh no

Fun fact: George A. Romero actually appeared in an episode of Phineas and Ferb, specifically in the special “night of the living pharmacists”, which is pretty much a love letter to the entire horror genre
I remember binge watching your Friday the thirteenth videos in 2017. Nice to see how much your channel has grown
When james said little kids came out of this crying, it reminded me of when i was 8 and my mom made me watch this and i showed it to my friend and traumatized her. Magnolia if you're reading this im sorry.
Wow 😂😂
Damn I hope she's doing okay lmao
@@thomas-stilinski8149 we're still friends but she never lets me live it down lol
@@nina__serafina I’m glad your still friends, I hope you guys look back on that time and laugh.
@@CasualCat64 oof
2 kill counts in one week and a kill count reboot !! YES JAMES
can’t believe i’ve been here since the first episode was recommended to me on the first Friday and you replied to me ♥️ love seeing how you’ve grown and taken us all with you. Much love to Chelsea and Lucy as well. ❤️
the transition into the sponsor was so clean that I watched the whole thing out of respect
Am I the only one who had a crush on Ben? Man was so handsome and bamf and I wished Duane Jones had gotten more roles like he deserved. He really was a great actor.
Nope, I've got mad respect for him as an actor!! Easily my favourite character in Night bc of his versatile acting and badassery! His character would not work with anyone else. Duane Jones IS Ben, just as Ian McKellen IS Gandalf. Iconic. Shame he never got enough preesh. Everyone acting in this movie is great, but just Jones sheer performance easily gives him top billing imo. It would be nice if we got a prequel purely about Ben someday. In the movie, his monologue just encapsulates the hopelessness of a zombie apocalypse.
He’s very handsome one of my horror movie hero crushes too
Same, it's ashame he died.
In the movie I mean
Sucked that he passed away tho r.i.p
i had to take a break from this channel bc i watched it so much i got nightmares lol, but I AM BACK
I love watching all you Kill Counts on repeat. Bc I've definitely watched them all, a few times over! I love that I can have them playing during the day, while I'm home with my kiddos - bc you guys uplifting, funny humor and voices down play the death and gore. So they don't notice or care to pay attention to what I'm playing on my phone. It helps that I'm cleaning and cooking all day - so they're not paying much attention to me, as it is. 🤣🤣🤣
Johnny's death is a fantastic example of how to set audience expectations low. The level of brutality this movie can get as it goes on, in particular the zombie that gets stabbed in the head and of course the death of the mom, and the first death is a bloodless and kind of "classic" horror kill, very in line with something we'd see in films from the 40s or 50s. I imagine that kill was your usual "Oh, wow" thrill ride kill but then that skinless skull made people realize this wasn't your usual fun day at the movies.
In the real mythology of ghouls, they eat corpses and then become a living clone of the dead person.
Woaah, that's so interesting, I didn't know that 0-0 where does this mythology originate from?
@@anxiety_cookie3688 The things people used to talk about in the old days. Like ghosts, demons or leprechauns.
That's really interesting, thank you for sharing this information ^^
@@anxiety_cookie3688 You're welcome, buddy. Thanks for your interest 👍
thats so cool i want to see a movie like that
I found this channel about a year ago but I went back and rewatched all the older videos because this is my favorite UA-cam channel and I’m definitely here for the remakes as well who can get mad about more information with better production. Let’s go James 🤘🏽
I'm glad some of the old videos are being revisited. The old videos are unwatchable when you're used to today's chill James. Old James sounds hurried and uninterested, as if he's trying to pump out a video before his last bus home leaves.
What’s with the user name?
@@peaceandlongboarding4283
Some troll hoping on a trend making fun of a dead man
Woah it's been so many years already since the Friday series! Can't believe we're getting remakes
I still can't believe I have have been here for almost 4 years, insane.
@@--jefree-- Time flys when you’re counting kills

There is one last Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon.
@@Mskittenlover12 not practical for releasing pent up rage or looting, i'm not driving to oregon just for that
Oh wait i'm in california
I need to think about this
I miss our old Video Playground. Neighborhood ruffian Charlie used to do under the counter circumcisions in the back lot. Miss those days 😕
I’ve been here since the first video so I’m just so happy you’ve decided to re make the videos because that’s why I fell in love with the channel
8:54 was my favorite part of the movie cause I was like I would be mad too DO SOMETHING LADY.
If I had known he was gonna redo Friday then I wouldn’t have watched it a billion times
Get ready to watch it a billion more then
Imma watch Shaun of the Dead for the millionth time
couldn't relate more
