The dead begin rising from their graves to feast on humanity. A group of people barricade themselves in an old farmhouse where they are surrounded by the walking dead. They discover that anyone who dies becomes one of the zombies. To further complicate matters, tempers are high, racism is evident and the lack of balls is apparent. The film starts a "Living Dead" sub-genre and George Romero's rules for killing the already deceased have made zombies as memorable as Frankenstein. Over the past decade, zombie have become a million dollar business. A classic Horror movie.

The filming for Night of the Living Dead took place in Evans City - Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh - Pennsylvania.

Thanks to Gary Streiner, who told us technically the location manager and scout for Night of the Living Dead was Vincent Survinski. Thanks Gary for updating this information.

Below are the THEN and NOW shots of the filming locations used in George Romero, Night of the Living Dead. The now shots are taken accordingly during our recent visit to the places (2007) while the then shots (1968) are the film grabs from the movie. This is a direct visual comparison of how the filming locations have changed over time. Some places and buildings are now totally unrecognizable due to massive development and area progress while some have undergone the opposite direction towards deterioration and decay. Some places, however, have stayed intact as they were, unaffected by the passage of weather and time.

The order below is the same order from the beginning to the end of the movie. If you can provide further information or help me locate the missing links, it will be greatly appreciated. These are all my personal observations and any form of constructive criticism or informative suggestion would be most welcome.

This is the Evans City Cemetary, and a very quite one it is

For all you Night of the Living Dead fans, the house in the photo below was used as a makeup and storage area while the shooting was taken place, Thanks to Rick Reifenstein of the Evans City historical society, for pointing it out.

While in Pennsylvania we worked our trip around a Monster Bash, where I meet two of the stars from Night of the Living Dead, The lead zombie and the little girl who very slowly turns into a zombie.

The actors are Bill Heinzman and the Gorgeous and very sexy Kyra Schon.
