31 DAYS OF DREW 2 - DAY 26: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1990)

Every horrorhound's favorite month is upon us, and to celebrate, I'll be dishing out film recommendations for every day in October. I hope you enjoy the month with some good movies, even if they aren't ones I recommend!

Today's Pick: Night of the Living Dead (1990)

Until the end of human history, we will be indebted to George A. Romero for giving us the popular image and concept of the modern zombie. Considering how beloved the creatures are thanks to The Walking Dead and other media, it's surprising how many younger people have never seen the one that started it all. It's an absolute classic and needs to be seen, especially given its importance in creating an entire sub-genre of horror. But, I'm going to take a moment to talk about the 1990 remake, which seems to have been lost in the shambling shuffle of zombie films, despite it's importance to the genre.
