Night of the Living Dead - Supplement

While we try to cover as much as we can in our episodes, there's always more to see, hear, and read about a movie that can enhance your viewing experience. If you enjoyed our episode on Night of the Living Dead, here's a few extra bits you might find interesting..

Night of the Living Dead (Commentary)

We continue to celebrate horror for October by talking about one of Tim's favorite films and one of the most influential horror movies ever made. We're sitting sit down for a commentary track for the original Night of the Living Dead. Listen as we praise director George Romero's low-budget innovations, explore the various social and racial messages of the film, and comment on its stylistic tweaking of horror conventions. Listen for our countdown on when to start your copy of the movie so it syncs with the commentary. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and it's dead... it's all messed up.


Our theme song is "Nostalgia TV" by Edward Jonathan Blakeley through Lynne Publishing.

Episode 78: Evolution of the Living Dead


Here is our first live show, recorded at the Peabody Essex Museum as part of Salem Horror Fest. To mark the 50th anniversary of the release of Night of the Living Dead, we discuss George Romero's Living Dead film series. Listen as we discuss how Romero used zombies as metaphors for social issues, chart how Romero's zombies developed from flesh-eating monsters into the heroes of the series, and recognize the tremendous cultural impact Romero's films have had. Warning: Contains mild explicit language, spoilers, and some politics.

Episode 31: Creepshow


Don't tell the parents! Bob offers a comics history lesson and Tim deals with childhood trauma as they look at George Romero's Creepshow from 1982. Topics discussed include the warped moral code of horror comics, how Romero's social commentary seeps into the film's segments, and just what the hell that thing in the crate is. Warning: Contains explicit language and spoilers, but if you want cake you'll have to bring it yourself.
