My sister used to babysit George's Ex in Oakmont-very hippy granola household-had a chance to be an extra in DOTD-I was a kid that thought he was gonna be an Astronaut:(-maybe in the next life-Romero is a Pittsburgh original like Andy Warhol-Heaven Bless&Rest His Soul:)
Take good care of your memories,Grant,we can't relive them-I really liked Return of The Living Dead-Clu Galager(right spelling?)was hilarious in that-I'm sure this cat will do a tribute-retrospective as he did for Bill Paxton-Bill Paxton still hurts,but so does River Phoenix man-we've lost to many damn good people:(
Very nice tribute to the man, the myth, the legend. I came into his films very late and think that he was a really great filmmaker and I admire his work. Thank you for the video.
R.I.P. George A. Romero, the godfather of zombies. I liked Night of the Living alright, but I too respect that it's a classic and because of his films, we wouldn't get zombie films of today, because of him. Another master of horror and suspense has gone, like Wes Craven. Horror fans are gonna miss a great icon.
I've been thinking about "Day of the Dead" for the past week honest to God. Wow i liked him and his wife was such supporter i always wanted a girl who could be my biggest cheerleader. Rip to Mr Romero who brought joy genius and intrigue to the genre for decades. Truly insipring. He'll Always be remembered!!!
DAWN OF THE DEAD is one of the best horror/zombie movies ever!!! I remember seeing it at the PICK WICK DRIVE-IN in Burbank California. RIP George Romero.
A true legend and pioneer of zombie films. He changed the face of horror forever and leaves behind a great legacy of amazing films. He will be greatly missed.⚘
Dawn of the Dead (1978) is my favorite zombie movie too, and I also found out about it through reading Ebert's reviews. He's another person that is sorely missed in this world.
Wow I didn't realize this until now.... RIP George Romero!! 😞 my favorite director who provided me with so much entertainment and emotions growing up....
13:15 John Carpenter actually just posted online his farewell to George A. Romero which that is really nice. And yeah i agree it sucks to see all these great movie legends gone but not forgotten.
great video I'm lost for words just can't believe it it sucks so bad dawn of the dead is one of my favorite movies of all time it's a masterpiece he will live on 4 ever r.i.p George a Romero 😭😢
Been stopping by this channel for many years. Sucks George died. Back in the late 80s and 90s I used to wear out my VHS copies of Night/Dawn/Day of the Dead watching them with friends or my brother. When DVDs came along they were some of the earliest DVDs I remember buying. Those movies spawned 100s of hours of conversations about "what if that happened to us?" with people most of my life. As a film maker myself I've envied the Director. RIP George Romero.
Thank you Mr. Romero. Thanks for the nightmares as a kid. Thanks for creating the flesh eating zombie! Without that we wouldn't have Resident evil, Walking dead, Zombi and so many other great horror movies. You changed the game and live on through your movies, just like West Craven as well. RIP to the masters of horror!
It was another sad day for the Horror film community. I always loved "The Dead" series with Dawn of the Dead being my favorite! I also loved "Creepshow" and the "The Dark Half" when I was a kid. But without George Romero we would also not have many of the survival horror games like Resident Evil either. RIP George.
Dawn Of The Dead is the greatest masterpiece. All George A Romero's movies are golden. Great video dude. George Romero will be sorely missed. It blew me away with the news that he had passed away. The GodFather of the zombies will never be forgetten. R.I.P George Romero.
You did a solid and sincere tribute for Mr. Romero Matt. I just can't understand why both him and Wes Craven are no longer with us since both are masters of their craft and talent IMO. At least his legacy will continue to live on....thank you George A. Romero RIP.
Hey Matt, I am so sorry to hear about George A. Romero. He was one of my favorite directors, best zombie filmmaker, underrated director, and a good man. God bless him and may he rest in peace and anyone else who has passed away recently. God bless them all. I hope you are doing okay. Take care.
I haven't been hit this hard by a director's death since Wes Craven. It sucks that he has passed away, but what sucks just as much to me? Is that there is no one in the horror genre today that can take his place or carry the mantle. Absolutely no one. That's why these losses of legendary horror directors like Craven and now Romero hurt so much. Unlike in the past? There is no one to pick up where they left off. There is no next Romero or Craven. And that's both sad and scary. Rest In Peace George. Thanks for the Creepshows.
Great tribute. Very heartfelt and honest. I just got the news on ComicBookMovie.com, and I was shocked. The first George A. Romero movie I was as a kid was the original "Night of the Living Dead". And, even though your not a fan of it, I love that movie. As time went on I saw the likes of "Dawn of the Dead", "Day of the Dead", "Land of the Dead", "Diary of the Dead", "Survival of the Dead", and "Creepshow". All (except for the sixth "Dead" movie) of which I loved. I haven't had the chance to check out "Monkey Shines"nor "Martin". Did catch "Bruiser" on "Fearnet" on demand, don't really remember much of it. He really had a talent for the genre, much like Wes Craven did (even though I've heard horror was never Craven's intention). I should give the likes of "Monkey Shines", "Martin", and "The Dark Half" a sit through. R.I.P. Mr. George A. Romero, thanks for the Horror and Terror you brought to the screen. :(
had no idea until I seen your video! That really sucks RIP Mr. Romero the Stan Lee of Horror films so underrated mostly cause he was a hippie he didn't play the Hollywood game and didn't thinks he's way.... The biggest injustice would be all the people who didn't realize what he made would bleed into all of pop culture (The Land of the Dead video game itself was pretty much a tech demo how to do a FPS with Zombies a few years later Valve looked at that game and created Left 4 Dead (which is Land of the Dead done proper) Dead Rising was a complete rip-off of Dawn of the Dead (Capcom just didn't want to pay for the license and skated around it with a Disclaimer on the box art) Then you have all types of tv series that were inspired by Romero's Dead Series (Plus he brought back the modern Anthology series with Tales from the Darkside which is one of the best horror anthology series on tv...... Sad but, that's life at least he left behind some amazing game changing work George A. Romero one of a kind he's legacy will live on forever
2:28 My personal favorite zombie film as well as my personal favorite film of his! 7:24 Maybe someday you should do a fan commentary for the film? 10:02 Even on that behind the scenes features would all the interviews from the cast&crew they had nothing but good things to say about him 11:18 Well Matt that does makes hate WILD STALLIONS Anderson ''wannabe'' Resident Evil films more after learning that. 13:10 Well said Q LOL! Fine job with paying respects bro to one of greats who helped change the horror genre!
My first exposure to Romero was in 2004 when I watched Night of the Living Dead( the original) for the first time at my friend's house. I enjoyed the movie, but it was intended to be a joke since we did commentary over it as we watched it. Making fun of the corny news reporter scenes. Dawn of the Dead is a great movie.. But I feel Day of the Dead was Romero perfecting how zombies should be and act like.
In terms of his work I loved Creepshow an dawn an Night. Day I thought was good but not as good as the first two.I liked Land Diary was ok I diddnt like Survival.I have liked the majority of Romeros stuff this is sad an hits me hard after Wes went as well.
oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nooooooo fuck me one of greatest directors of all time master of zombies has passed away sadly with battle lung cancer jeez their is a lot celebrities past away this year specially Michael Parks and Powers Boothe and Robert Miles DJ makes a lot great music also guy who past away recently Michael Nyqvist villain who played first john wick George Romero may rest in peace greatest director of all time i didnt like day of dead but their a lot another i liked what he did favorite dawn of dead diary of dead is good film i didn't mind that at all but i have problems with it but still good film not greatest
Top 5 Favorite George A Romero Movies 1. Dawn Of The Dead (1978) 2. Day Of The Dead (1985) 3. Creepshow (1982) 4. Night Of The Living Dead (1968) 5. The Crazies (1973)
Yeah...Day of the Dead has more interesting/fun characters like Joe Pilato, I enjoy the music in Day of the Dead more, it definitely has better special FX, it has actual gore...to me, the choice is very easy.

It sucks we never got to see his version of resident evil. Rest In Peace.

Rip George Romero! I remember back in the day renting his Horror Films from the video stores when they where still around, A True Legend of Horror.
DAWN OF THE DEAD is one of the best horror/zombie movies ever!!!
I remember seeing it at the PICK WICK DRIVE-IN in Burbank California.
RIP George Romero.
just taking his resident evil 2 commercial into mind..
wish he could of done the films
George Romero Resident Evil film/s would have been way better than the Paul Anderson train wrecks!
LordMalice6d9 I can only imagine a 90s grungy, romero/carpenter style resident evil 1 and 2 film..
dark, grimey and very vibey..
sigh. ..
RIP George A Romero he will be missed

siskel&eber.t.org-the archives-great stuff-start with The Holiday Gift Guides:)
Ryan Gettig thanks for the recommendation. I thought I was a pretty huge Siskel n Ebert fan but I never heard about the holiday gift guides til now.
Love how not only did Romero influenced other movies he also influenced TV and Video games! :)
Real sad. Actor Martin Landau died also
I hate this celebrities going in threes-I wish God would take his foot off the accelerator but that's outta my jurisdiction:(
Wow, him and Romero were a year apart in age as well. Very sad.
A sign that you're getting old is when celebrities you grew up watching start dying left and right
He died also..Martin was one of my all time favs
RIP Martin Landau
Wow I didn't realize this until now.... RIP George Romero!! 😞 my favorite director who provided me with so much entertainment and emotions growing up....
13:15 John Carpenter actually just posted online his farewell to George A. Romero which that is really nice. And yeah i agree it sucks to see all these great movie legends gone but not forgotten.
John Carpenter is also up their in age as well, and It's only a matter of time before we will have to say goodbye to John as well : (
RIP George
Damn that sucks that he's gone now, I was hoping that he might of made another ''Dead'' movie
Feels really weird clicking 'like' on this video. RIP George.
Matt I just saw this video an clicked on it.I had no idea he passed until I saw this so sad he was one of my favs.R.I.P.
R.I.P. - George Romero . . .
Hopefully ROAD OF THE DEAD will still get made!!!
Now we still got John Carpenter. George Romero dying got me in total shock, just like when Wes Craven died.
Rest in Peace Mr. Romero. You'll be missed by hardcore horror fans everywhere.

I'd rather have Romero direct and helm the Resident Evil movies than Paul WS Anderson and his baby mama. Rest in Power Georgie!
Hey Matt, I am so sorry to hear about George A. Romero. He was one of my favorite directors, best zombie filmmaker, underrated director, and a good man. God bless him and may he rest in peace and anyone else who has passed away recently. God bless them all. I hope you are doing okay. Take care.
