I noticed that the grave (Clyde Myers) that they fought on was dated 1966 so he hadn't been in the ground for too much time when they were filming. How crazy would it be to show up to your loved one's grave and find out there is a movie scene being filmed right on top of it! Especially when that movie turned out to be one of the most iconic horror flicks in film industry!
I'm here at the Evans City Cemetery at this very moment. You helped me locate the filming location angles and stones. Thanks
I’m glad we were of some help. Have fun...enjoy!
@@grimmlifecollective hey guys, pls find my comment on the main comment thread, the same date and time as this one. It's concerning an observation I made today concerning Johnny and his death and how it breaks all the rules and conventions of zombie lore. Thanks guys
You might like to join groups for George Romero's Night of the Living Dead...had annual festivals b4 covid.. buisiness built up the town..
There is return living dead fest at Monroeville mall this summer where Dawn of the Dead was made.
John Russo cowrote NOTLD and still writes and goes to fests. I met him few times. The whole cast is awesome..rip to ones have past.
Many actors, zombies took turns filiming, working crew.. pretty cool.
@@grimmlifecollective Baby Ghoul looks Smashing
I met Johnny several years back at a Horror convention. Nice guy. I decided against asking him to say 'They're coming to get you Barbara'.
That was fun, I love the reenactments from the scenes of the movie. Don't sell your acting skills short, Jessica so beautiful.
She's totally sweet and adorable.
The zombie woman eating the cricket off of the tree, is the same actress who plays the mother of the turned zombie girl who kills her in the basement. She was a co-producer of the film and not only played multiple parts to help out, but she was also a costume designer on the film. Well done.
She was also their make up artist who did all the makeup for the film & that's why her zombie make up on her face in the film looks the most decayed & realistic ❤
@@MLawrence-z9k wow
I love this! I met Mr. Romero just a few years before he died, and I was allowed to pick his brain, and get his autograph, and ask about the making of NOTLD. Never thought I would go through all the sets like this! And I thank you and your lovely assistant (?) for the recreated scenes!
Awesome job. My favorite quotes:
Field Reporter:
Are they slow-moving, chief?
Sheriff McClelland:
Yeah, they're dead. They're all messed up.
That’s a classic quote!
That field reporter was chilly Billy cardell
I absolutely LOVE your videos!! You both are wonderful! And the information you provide is very informative. I myself am a Pittsburgh native. Born in the south hills and raised just south of the city in the Canonsburg area. I left PA when I was 22. I now live in Southern California east of Los Angeles. But I have never forgotten my Pittsburgh roots! Every Pittsburgh native knew they lived in “Zombie City”. I almost get emotional and choked up watching your footage. It’s home. Thank you!
Actually, I think your re-enactment of the zombie is spot on. **SOMEONE GET THIS MAN AN OSCAR!!**
My friend's music was in the sequel in the 80s, so I got to go to the premier in LA. It was a blast. The actors would stand up and bow when their character was killed. A little person in a wheelchair who was missing limbs played a zombie. Charming guy, he would look at you and say, it could happen to you in a sing-song voice, then laugh. Fun.
Great stuff. I love it. It's nice seeing people of younger generations appreciating this iconic horror film, and I always love the vids like this where the original filming locations are revisited.
So you are older generation and feeling superior
@@klaasj7808he never said that, but continue on with your foolishness.
@@alphabarre9096 then what is he saying?
@@klaasj7808 you can't read don't you? Or do you lack a reading comprehension?
@@alphabarre9096 what someone writes is not his or her whole story.
It's a personal rule with me that every Halloween I have to watch this movie, been a tradition that my dad and I had when growing up, it was our favorite movie. So I watch it every year in his honor.
Glad I found your channel. You guys are into all the horror stuff I love. Great video and awesome vibe on your channel.
The killer girl in the basement teaches art and pottery at U. Of Pittsburgh.
MrGlenspace no way.
Katy thowy, Yes, she does the last I heard.
Yes indeed. Kyra Schon
Kyra Schon...her film name was Karen Cooper
She also appears fairly regularly at mid-west/regional conventions. She's super nice.
Just subscribed.Im 65-years-old and i remember when NOTLD came out in theaters.It scared the hell out of everyone.Im sure you heard the rumors that people fainted or ran out of the theaters.Well,theyre true!!The music you hear when you first see the movie title is some of the spookiest ive ever heard.Romero had no idea how much of an impact that movie was going to have.Like your tours.
Hi hooked on your videos I was born in Pittsburgh and a lot of my relatives still live there .My family years ago moved to Maryland. Back in 1968 I was 12 years old and me and my friends watched this movie about 10 times at the local theater it scared the hell out of us keep up the great Videos ! Always was a big George Romero fan
Found your channel the other day and love it! Very informative and interesting. BTW, the buds Jessica found are cicadas, or locusts as we call them. They come out every seventeen years in different areas by the millions to mate.
I,m a first time viewer of your channel you guys were great. I have "Night of the living Dead" on DVD I sometimes watch it on Friday or Saturday night.
I’m*
@@Tomboyy9818 - Perfect.
Oh man, this was such a great video. You two are awesome. It was just what I needed to get hyped up for the horror convention I am going to next weekend. Thanks!!
Love the reenactments, lol!
I just came across you fine folks randomly, really enjoying your youtube channel. As a Pittsburgh native and horror geek all my life, I've been so spoiled. If you haven't already, try to make it out to Monroeville mall too. While sadly it's VERY different now, you can still recognize some locations from Dawn. I actually was very blessed to meet Mr. Romero, his son opened up a tattoo parlor about ten minutes from my (old) home and he made a guess appearance at the opening. He was so kind and gracious and my GOD was he tall! I felt like Frodo next to him.
Good job! That movie terrified me as a teenager .I saw it in 1974 at a local drive in movie theater. I was too scared to go to the bathroom!
What about Twilight?
Great video guys. Love George's movies ever since I was a kid. All his movies have the best effects I've ever seen to this day. George's talent has yet to be matched.
We agree 100%
Tom Savini's remake is quite good, particularly in the way he recasts Barbara.
In October 1968 I was only 4 years old. My grandmother took me to a matinee to see it, thinking it was childish. She was shocked and we left early. I had nightmares afterwards. Even though I was so little at the time, I still recall the terror I felt while watching that thing. From what she told me, other people in the theater were leaving speechless, unable to process what they had just witnessed. Someone should have been sued at the time.
Crazy to think that was considered horror back then to what's available nowadays.
watched this movie tonight on TH-cam with my mum jackie
thank you so much for this video you two gorgeous people
we loved it *glad we found it
rachel from queensland australia
Great job on this video! I also really enjoyed the two of you acting out the scenes like that. You two did a great job being informative about all the locations but also added a nice touch of humor too. Well done!
Loved the video. I live about an hour away, and really want to get out there some day to check out the cemetery. I hope you guys do a Dawn Of The Dead locations video as well. Just watched your Q&A video and you said you did do a Dawn locations video. Can't wait to see it!
You guys are amazing!!
Love watching your videos.
So awesome too see another couple so into movies like we are.
Another amazingly spooky glimpse of horror culture. Thanks for sharing your content!
Your reenactment was classic. Loved this one.
Very cool video. I live about 4-5 hours away from the cemetery and have been thinking about eventually taking a road trip to see the filming locations of this classic! If the chapel was unlocked, I would have loved to have seen the inside, even though the interior was never shown in the movie. So glad the chapel was saved by the fans.
If you are a fan, you have to make the trip 🦇
You found an amazing woman
I can't get my girl to watch the mummy
Never mind a zombie movie
I feel your pain. I'm so glad my significant other watches all of the films I'm obsessed with. Universal Monsters, Hammer Horror, Amicus, Zombie flicks, etc. I've been with women who refuse, and it's not fun. Sending positive vibes your way (either to put a spell on your girl, or to trade her in for someone you can share your interests with).
Great video man, The house was slated to be torn down as they were filming the movie and it was torn down within two weeks after filming....I watched a documentary and learned about it.
New Subscriber. I laughed my butt off at your reenactments!
I first saw Night of the Living Dead in 1971 on Creature Features hosted by Bob Wilkins when I was 8 years old, and instantly fell in love with it!
I always wanted to drive around and visit the filming locations to my favorite Horror & Sci-fi films and TV shows, but now I'll just watch you and your lovely lady do it. 🙂
great b/w filming and acting , great job guys. that was a fun one! thank you.
You both are so much fun and clever. I joined your site a couple of weeks ago, and I appreciate your fresh take on the topics you dive into and your knowledge of all things macabre in popular culture!!! I learn a lot from your videos. I get invigorated for my favorite holiday, Halloween. Thank you so much.
That log cabin looks like it would be a good spot for another horror film 🎥. Nice job, you guys. Thanks.
Great movie and great video tour by you guys! The intro scene is my favorite, I'm glad you covered it!
You guys absolutely rock! It’s so nice to see you two having a lot of fun together. I’m somewhat envious. 👍
Thank you
Loved meeting yall at Fantasm! Y'all were both so kind and sweet to us, (total strangers who enjoy, and subscribe to your you tube channel) Thanks for your kind words about my Annabelle doll. Keep those fun videos coming! Bless y'all
My family remember them actually filming this movie while lived in Pittsburgh, Bethel Park. It was well advertised at the time, you may want to do a report on urban legend of "The Green Man" and how it got started,it was rumored that a man who was struck by lightning and turned green while his house burned to the ground from lighting. And was left was a chimney in the woods of south park in Pittsburgh P.A. just outside of Bethel Park. What I'm telling is just an Urban Legend, the real story is sad story of a man who got electrocuted as a boy and lived. I leave the rest up to you to find out what really happened and how it really ended.
So funny I was just thinking about this movie wondering if you had a video of it.....what pops up in my suggested video feed! This! Love it! Love the channel
That is awesome, I actually met Barbara and Johnny from the night of living dead, a few years back very very nice nice people
Just wanted to give a shout-out to you both for joining us in chat at Creature Features ( and also for being on the show ). Our chat family is growing, and we hope that you both will drop by again.
This video was exceptional! Thank you again sir and Baby Goul! Always a pleasure to watch your videos and to listen to your commentary.
Just discovered your channel over the weekend and LOVE it! So many great videos, I've been watching them since yesterday. I loved this one especially; the re-enactments were hilarious! Looking forward to going through more of your videos, and looking forward to new posts as well.
Love how you're wife kept walking past the camera back and forth behind you then off camera 😂
she's cute :)
Your*
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this!! Discovered your channel recently and through you, have helped me on this tour!!
You two are so good together and the fun you have doing the videos is evident! Keep up the good work...I am having fun too!
You guys did absolutely great! I could not tell the difference between the original black-and-white to your new black and white scenes! Bravo!!
Wonderful video with many background info we would otherwise never have known. Top.
Awesome video NOTLD one of my favorites. Got to meet George Romero & a few of the remaining cast & crew at the 2008 fangoria convention in LA. Everyone was super nice. Love your videos please keep up the great work
Creepshow scared the hell out of me when I saw it as a kid and still scares the hell out of me to this day. One of my favorite Romero films to this day.
I know, right! The scene where the old guy comes out of the grave demanding his cake scared me *so much* as a kid. It was forever etched on my mind. It was one of those scenes that bothered me deeply. It *genuinely* scared me. I can't say that for many other films. To this day, it still strikes a chord. They don't make films like that anymore.
This is Definitely one of my Favorite Movies. Watched so many Times. I Really Enjoyed your Reenactment. Great Video
I was at the farmhouse during filming. I was just a toddler and my family had a cottage at nearby Camp Cowley. I have just a few memories of us spectators standing on the roadside at dusk.
Also, my understanding is that the farmhouse burned down.
Pretty cool.
@Google Account we were there to see all the activity. A bunch of locals were gathered on the side of the road to watch.
@Google Account no. I didn’t know enough to be frightened. Just lots of people and I remember a truck and helicopter.
I have a friend who attended Edinboro University with Bill Hinzman's daughter, Heidi, and subsequently got to meet Mr. Hinzman, too. Great work, guys.
Loved the video. I'm located in Pittsburgh and 2 years ago decided to take a visit to Evans City cemetary. Loved your girlfriends dress!
I won't lie, I've only been subscribed to your channel for about a week after stumbling across one of your videos, and I've become hooked. You guys acting scenes is absolutely epic 😅 I'd love a whole movie of it. Much love to you both from the UK, & take care.
Oh my Gods you're reenacting it made me laugh so hard I was crying 😂😂😂 Her face when you're trying to break the window? PRICELESS! Thanks for the laugh and I am DEFINITELY subscribing
Kyra Schon told me 16 years ago over MySpace the project actually began the filming phase in 1964, with scenes being shot and added until its completion in 1967.
Upon its initial release in October 1968, it wasn't rated. Within the first month, people were so shocked by the violence, and the one nude zombie, the MPAA had to rate the movie. It was actually being shown at children's matinees for a month before theater owners realized it was definitely NOT a movie for the faint hearted, no less for children or anyone under 18 years of age, since NOTHING remotely like it had ever been released to theaters in the USA up until that point.
Thora Mann , Actual filming dates were from June through December 1967.
This is awesome! So entertaining, thanks for the dedication you guys put into these gems. And Jessica's background antics are icing on the cake.
I was thinking the same thing.
They're coming to get you Barb-bah-rah!
George Romero started it ALL,
Every Zombie movie should give thanks to Mr. Romero! there may not be ANY Zombie movies without this movie and George Romero!
What started out as a low budget movie made loads of cash, and made future movies like this possible, RIP Mr. Romero
I’m so proud to be a PA boy, knowing all my fav movies have been filmed here haha
You had fun making this. I had fun watching. I was just at the cemetery yesterday. I had to make my pilgrimage.
Fantastic! I would totally watch the 2 of you in a horror movie, the bits you did here were fun!
I’m a new fan and I’m freaking dying!!!! This is the best one yet!!! Can’t wait to watch the others! 🖤 Thank y’all!!! 🖤🖤🖤
To think, that the whole zombie movie phenomena might have never happened if Mr. Romero had *remembered* to have put the trademark symbol in the title! Amazing how one tiny detail changed the course of cinematic history.
Yes.. Bitter sweet for GR and all of us hard core fans
According to GAR it was Latent Images mistake the film not being copyrighted.
I'm playing catch up...my husband and I love this!!!! Lolol. Michael nice zombie dance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good job Jessica! You guys this has tp be favorite of mine. You must do more acting out scenes lol. Love the comedy.
Thanks guys💚💚💚💚
Love this film... There was a time in my life were I would put this movie on & sleep to it 😂 btw would love to see you guys do a video on the original Halloween.
i was 10 years old when this movie came out. it was the talk of our school. we all went to see it. i am so happy to have grown up in a time when all the cool shit happened. love your channel. you guys are awesome. !
Not sure if anyone has said it yet but, “They’re coming to get you Barbara!”
I LOVE THIS ALL TIME CLASSIC MOVIE I STILL LOOK AT THIS ALL TIME CLASSIC MOVIE I LOVE WHEN JOHNNY TELLS BARBARA THEY COMING FOR YOU
just watched this on my work break.brilliant and very well done.
I saw the movie in 1968. It was the first horror movie that really scared me. It looked at the start of the movie to be another unremarkable black and white sixties horror film. When the first zombie attacks them in the graveyard, I knew that I was in for something special.
The circumstances and time under which I first saw NOLD made and keep it as probably the most disturbing movie I've ever seen...and that was back in '73. Loved this tour. Also loved the clips from-is it a remake-of NOLD? Filming in original locations, a stroke of genius and who are these stunning new actors? This is pure talent people, keep an eye on these two.
Good job researching and portrayal.
Makes me want to travel to Evans City, PA!
To anyone who hasn't seen NOTLD, it's a MUST WATCH.
(My mind is still blown over the twist at the end!)
Awesome! I lived in Evans City in the 1990s. I had/have/whatever an in-law buried in that cemetary.
@THESATURNSSC1 she passed away, and I divorced my ex. :)
Their unbridled enthusiasm is so charming...love this stuff...keep it coming Bub
Love the acting remakes haha ❤
I lived and raised my family about 10 miles from Evans City where some of your family lived. We were there when”Night.” Was being filmed!
We love you two so much. You two make the cutest couple. We are so thrilled we ran across your Channel. You put a creepy smile on our face everyday. We're going to miss you here from Florida. Just make sure next time you come back you come visit us in Sarasota. Keep up the good work... much love stay safe keep scaring.xoxoxo
I was at the 50th Anniversary screening of NOLD at the Byham theater. It was great to see and watch the film with the surviving cast members present. Evans City Cemetery is a great visit!
First time viewer! Subbed !
Absolutely loved this video and you both have such enthusiasm. You have a new fan, right outside of Pittsburgh. Looking forward to more horror vids🤘😈🤘
Rewatching this after watching original, I also LOVE the 90s remake by Savini!
Tom is a genius!
Great video, and yinz crack me up! There used to me a kind of make shift museum dedicated to NOTLD (and I believe a few other Romero pics too) at Monroeville Mall in Monroeville PA, which is about 15-20 mins east of Pittsburgh. Sadly, it's been gone for some time now.
I may represent Las Vegas on social media and I may currently live in New Orleans but I spent a large majority of my teens/20s in Allegheny County. I grew up on the zombie scene and ended up making a lot of friends who worked on this and every other zombie movie in Pittsburgh. I was part of the team to raise money to restore the Evans City Cemetery chapel. I met some of my closet friends through zombies. 🖤
I live in Indiana county about 60m miles east of Pittsburgh...love your blog I try to comment when I can...
Y'all are so cool man! Chilly Billy would be proud.
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ZOMBIE!!
I remember staying up late Friday nights to watch Chilly Billy Cardilly! 😂🤣😂🤣😈👹👿Fun times!
I was 10 on Halloween 1978 when I first saw this movie and was hooked instantly to zombies and anything George Romero.
I laughed so hard at you being the zombie doing the pee wee Herman dance lol
Good stuff!
you guys are so good at this !! keep doing what you do !
That part where you guys reenacted the encounter with a zombie in the cemetery was PRICELESS! Looks like the basis for a full movie spoof. This is one of my favorite movies.
Love the channel ..please keep up the awesome content and I will definitely keep watching.
Lol Evans City is 30 minutes away from me, it's so dope having so much horror history surrounding me.
I’m in Ford City…. Where are you from?
I lived in an old PA farmhouse for 20 years and the basement was creepy AF. Dirt floor, dark and dank, we even found bones in it. The basement in the movie looked like a penthouse compared to what the real one must have looked like. During the film, if you look closely you can see ductwork and some high-end electric. Definitely not old house stuff, which was probably glass fuses with knob and tube. Great video...
I'm from Evans City and this video makes me happy! lol
My brother lives, I think not very far from there. He has a Mars, PA address. Cranberry is a big metropolis now in days, can't understand why, and how they get out of having to pay for emissions on their cars and trucks, yet us folks here in Beaver County have to pay for this ridiculous stuff when we aren't growing at all, still rural country life with no industrial growth except that refining plant that's by the Beaver Valley Mall which, like other malls in the country is dying.
Love the re-enactment. Hope you do more.
It is a lot of fun watching you and Jessica having even more fun. Maybe you two have a future in SNL sketches.
It’s fun watching them even tho Jessica can’t act, lol.
You guys must have a blast visiting all these locations. Another great video. 😎👍
"Stop it. You're ignorant..." Classic.
Night of the Living Dead is my favorite horror movie, My favorite line it goes: They're going to get you Barbara, They're coming for you Barbara!
