Night Of The Living Dead

"Night Of The Living Dead" was produced in 1968 by director George Romeo for the paltry sum of $114.000, which is really miniscule compared to the budgets of films made now-a-days.  It remains a classic of the horror film genre, and has spawned numerous remakes and clones.  Night of the Living Dead entered the public domain because the original theatrical distributor, the Walter Reade Organization, neglected to place a copyright mark on the prints.  In 1968, United States copyright law required that a proper copyright notice for a work be included on it to maintain a legitimate copyright.  The producers of "Night Of The Living Dead" failed to do this when they renamed the film from "Night Of The Flesh Eaters" to "Night Of The Living Dead".  Because of this legal error you can watch the complete "Night Of The Living Dead" for FREE by clicking on the video widget below.
