GEORGE ROMERO, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
George Romero is one of the top names in the modern horror film business, thanks to his 1968
cult classic Night of the Living Dead. Romero grew up in New York and attended the Carnegie-
Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He began his filmmaking career producing industrial
films and television commercials. Night of the Living Dead was his first feature film, a
low-budget black and white movie about zombies on the attack. Although Romero has written and
directed several other films for the big screen and television, he will always be associated with his
zombie movies, including the sequels Dawn of the Dead (1979) and Day of the Dead (1985). His
other films include Creepshow (1982), Monkey Shines (1988) and The Dark Half (1993, based on
the Stephen King novel). In 1990 Romero oversaw the remake of Night of the Living Dead.
