A classic, in both the birth of the modern zombie, and a testament to race relations. The first time I watched it a few years ago I was floored. So much respect for director George Romero and the cast and crew π

2023-11-11 05:21:59 +0000 UTCThis was 67, so we're talking 3 years (y'all that's 2020...feels not too far ago, right?) after the Civil Rights Act passed. This is one year before some dog murders MLK. You have a black male lead with a white woman supporting and a white man directing, and the thing isn't preachy. It's a movie. You can actually fade the social commentary if you want and not see it. But the history of it, the era, and the statement at the end of our main character being shot before even given the chance to show he was human... man that's wild for '67 and it's a cult hit to boot, AND it's responsible for the zombie genre.

2023-10-31 18:41:14 +0000 UTCHey Asia and BJ. Thought I'd share an anecdote. George Romero the director and the father of the modern day zombies said while filming this movie they were told Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated and he decided to make the main character's death more meaningful as well as make a statement about today's society and how we rush to judge without thinking.

2023-10-30 02:36:32 +0000 UTCOn a shoe string budget Romero created this classic...and started the zombie genre as we know it today. Was ahead of its time for sure. Great reactions from you guys as always...its been a fun Halloween month!!!

2023-10-29 06:37:55 +0000 UTCCore memory unlocked. Back in the 80s maybe I was 5 or 6 years old, my dad showed this to my 2 cousins and myself. They lived the next street over, between that street was about 70 yards of cemetery. So my dad and the 3 of us cut through the cemetery to walk them home and out of nowhere my dad quietly but horrified yells "What in the hell is that!?!" and takes off running back to the house leaving us 3 boys petrified, in the middle of night, in a cemetery, after watching this at 6, 8 and 9 years old. The good old days π

2023-10-29 06:16:13 +0000 UTCThis is a real cemetery that you can go visit today. This scared the crap out of you when this came out . It wasn't the first zombie movie ever made but it was the one that made zombies a part or todays fascination for fear and Romero was the king along with Tom Savini. Savini is a part of zombie movies today. Back in the day you could steer the car without the motor running . Notice how smart the zombies were one broke the window with a rock . Also women weren't fighter now a days yes we would be bashing their heads in and going for the next one. I would be a Carol ( off the Walking Dead )

2023-10-29 05:10:14 +0000 UTC"Yo! Hi-de-hi-de-ho! Hello from the other side." -Asia π "They eatin' chitlins..." -BJ π Hilarious. Thanks for spending the night with us A&B! And as always... You're the best! π

2023-10-29 03:43:46 +0000 UTCGeorge A. Romero began the whole "Zombie" movie industry. Notice the word "Zombie" was never used - it wasn't even a known word yet, other than in Haitian Voodoo, where I think it was spelled "Zombi". Romero also made a massive mistake when he made this movie - he accidentally removed the copyright notice in the credits, putting the movie into the Public Domain, which means he couldn't make any money on it. Without "Night of the Living Dead", there probably wouldn't have been MJ's "Thriller", or even The Walking Dead. Awesome reaction as usual :)

2023-10-29 03:01:57 +0000 UTCGlad you did the black and white version

2023-10-29 02:09:15 +0000 UTCThis is where it all begins as far zombies. To say this is a classic as well an important movie that broke barriers in the evolution of film is an understatement. Should be mandatory that everyone watch this every Halloween. Awesome pick!

2023-10-29 01:27:03 +0000 UTCπ I have been doing the same thing.... Thinking to myself, "I can't watch this right now, I have to wait and watch this with Asia and BJ!"
Dustin
2023-10-29 01:15:44 +0000 UTCMe waiting for a new upload, burns through the entire new season of Shoresy last night. All because I couldn't find anything to watch for Halloweekend that I hoped to see y'all react to π Here's to hoping for Pet Sematary (original) before the month ends ββ€ fam!

2023-10-29 00:20:57 +0000 UTCThis is such a classic. Great reaction
Richard
2023-10-29 00:12:57 +0000 UTCAnother classic! My dad used to watch this movie a lot when I was younger. I don't remember much so this will be a funwatch later on! ππ»
Rebecca Karsner
2023-10-28 23:36:16 +0000 UTCMe: they are gonna be SO surprised at the ending of this movie! Asia: calls the ending 90 seconds before it happens... π

2023-10-28 23:35:59 +0000 UTCPet Sematary will mess Asia up! Let's do it, lol.

2023-10-28 23:02:40 +0000 UTCAwesome you guys doing this classic!
Yum
2023-10-28 22:03:54 +0000 UTCThe 90's version is way easier to watch since it's in color and there's not as many shadows. I recommend Arachnophobia, Life, and Pet Cemetery before the month ends.

2023-10-28 21:45:23 +0000 UTCThey're coming for you Barbara! Love this movie. So glad you did the one in B&W. Romero was brilliant. Another filmaker, like Hitchcock, that didn't fold to societal film expectations and norms.

David Williams
2023-10-28 19:25:46 +0000 UTCCan't beat a classic! Thank you both, this is such a good movie. I can't believe its only 3 days left until Halloween and the end of Spooktober. Its flown by.

2023-10-28 19:02:34 +0000 UTCMy dad took my brother and me to see this in the late 70s at a student union movie theater. We were in elementary school, and he thought it would be a hoot for us to hang out with the college kids cheering and shouting at the screen. It was all fun and games until the half eaten body showed up on the stairs, and then we were like NOPE! Get us out of here! I love horror movies now, but this film still kinda gives me the creeps.

2023-10-28 18:52:12 +0000 UTCPrior to this film, zombies were generally depicted as mindless servants created through voodoo, to do their master's bidding, whatever that may entail, and they were somewhat creepy, but they just sort of stumbled around and more or less faded into the background scenery. But they weren't the terrifying flesh-eating monsters George Romero turned them into in this! He created an entirely new monster with this film, and it was quite shocking and revolutionary for it's time! Thank you guys for doing this, MY ALLTIME FAVORITE HORROR FILM! An interesting side note ~ during the news broadcasts in this film, they are listing local towns where people can find rescue stations. My grandmother lived in western Pennsylvania, relatively close to where this was filmed, and I have been to many of those towns and heard of most of them! As a kid, when I saw that, I was like "HOLY SHIT! THAT'S NOT FAR FROM GRANDMA!!!" LOL I also had the pleasure to meet several of the actors in this film at a Chiller Theater convention. I met Johnny, the brother who gets killed at the beginning, and the zombie who kills him! Both very nice guys!

2023-10-28 18:26:15 +0000 UTCI LOVE this version, the original. So different, creative, never knew what was going to happen. Brilliant to film in B/W, adds mystery, film noir, and makes you focus. Very Hitchcock-like. You don't need screen after screen of blood and gore in living color to be a scary movie. The ending is so 'effin brilliant, as well. Can't wait to watch your reactions... Asia will laugh and hide behind the blankie at the same time. BJ will laugh and tell her to watch the movie, while announcing everything she's missing. I love you two! Best reaction channel ever! Now I can do laundry and watch at the same time. Multitasking at its best. I hope I don't fold stuff wrong, I hate having to refold!

2023-10-28 18:18:40 +0000 UTCI haven't seen this one either. Looking forward to it.

Ekk
2023-10-28 18:02:45 +0000 UTCNo way, just opened app. My Saturday night's got a lot less shit. Love you guys! The 90's remake is decent too. I also recommend the Father Ted spoof episode.
Rich
2023-10-28 18:02:08 +0000 UTCI should be ashamed that I've never watched this but I really never have watched this lol. Looks like you guys are getting me with a first time watch here that hardly ever happens. Thank you guys so much! Hope everyone enjoys it!
