About Night of the LIving Dead Live Score with Morricone Youth


WFMU Movie Night: George A. Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) with an original live score by MORRICONE YOUTH.

"They're coming to get you, Barbara!" The film Readers Digest warned would inspire cannibalism and ground zero for the modern zombie fan, Romero’s feature length debut laid the groundwork for the indie horror film and zombie craze to follow. The first of five in Romero's Living Dead series, no other film about the lumbering, cannibalistic undead is as genuinely scary as the black-and-white original in which a group of terrified strangers hole up in a Pennsylvania farmhouse as legions of hungry zombies move ever closer. One of the most important films of the 20th Century and an allegory for American racism in the 1960's. Morricone Youth performs the live soundtrack as the film plays.
