Here is the exciting in-depth story of a horror classic—told by an insider! John Russo, who co-authored the screenplay for Night of the Living Dead, also wrote the novelization and helped produce and promote the movie. Following that early, enormous success, he has gone on to write, produce and/or direct three more movies and to publish eight more novels. Millions of fright fans know him as the perpetrator of macabre creations such as Midnight, Bloodsisters, The Awakening and Day Care. Night of the Living Dead has been called a fluke, a classic, a gross, outrageous money-grabber. It's also been called a symbolic work laden with commentary on the pressures and terrors of a ruthless modern society. Whatever it may be, no one can deny its rude, powerful effectiveness. To this day, it continues to draw crowds and to scare the living daylights out of them. The Complete Night of the Living Dead Filmbook is a gold mine full of entertaining, enlightening anecdotes. It includes numerous photographs, many of which have not been published before. Film fans and budding film-makers will enjoy and appreciate this comprehensive, insightful look into the creation of... "...one of the best horror films ever made."—Andrew Sarris, 'The Village Voice'.
