SHOWNOTES: Happy Halloween, Collateral Cinephiles! This year, we decided to take it back to the classics, and discuss the original zombie film—that is, the 1968 independent horror film from George A. Romero, Night of the Living Dead. Initially panned for its raw depiction of violence and gore, the movie has since become a cult classic and the influencer for all stories about the undead in Hollywood, even making its way for preservation into the National Film Registry! Check it out now, and if you enjoy this spooky special, let us know with a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or feedback on your choice of platform. And please stay safe this holiday, folks!
