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.
