Night of the Living
Dead (1968 – Directed by George A. Romero)
As a result of the film’s original
distributor neglecting to put a copyright indication on the film’s prints, the
movie had no copyright and was considered to be in the public domain. As a
result of this there are almost 200 distributors who have released the film for
home video.
Aside from the official George A.
Romero sequels there have been numerous films produced utilizing a variation of
the Night of the Living Dead title
including: Flight of the Living Dead
(2007), Knight of the Living Dead
(2005), Night of the Living Dorks
(2004), Raiders of the Living Dead
(1986), Night of the Living Heads
(2010), Night of the Living Deb
(2015), Night of the Living Babes
(1987), Nightmare of the Living Dead
(1998), Hood of the Living Dead
(2005), Nerd of the Living Dead
(2011), Night of the Living Lasagna
(2006) and there is a film listed as being in development on IMDb called Night of the Living Dong. I’m not saying
anything… but I think I want to see it!
There are also a huge
number of films more directly using Romero’s original story and purporting to
be remakes or reimagining’s or rehashes or rip-offs! They include: Night of the Living Dead (1990), Another Night of the Living Dead (2011),
Night of the Living Dead 3D (2006), Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation
(2012), Night of the Living Dead: Darkest Dawn (2015), Night of the Living Dead:
Resurrection (2012), Night of the
Living Dead (2014), Night of the
Living Dead: Reanimated (2009), Night
of the Living 3D Dead (2013), Night
of the Living Dead: Genesis (2016), Night
of the Living Dead: Contagion (2015), Night
of the Living Dead: Rebirth (2015) as well as the documentary film Birth of the Living Dead (2013). And let
us not forget the bizarrely titled Night
of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Terror
(1991) – seriously!
