Too Many Lifeless Aspects Drag The Dead Don't Die Down

In the quiet small American town of Centerville, some strange occurrences are happening. Just when it's supposed to be night outside, the sun is shining as if it's the middle of the day. Animals are vanishing. Did I mention that polar ice caps are being so severely fracked that it's adversely affecting the Earth's axis? Yep, lots and lots of strange occurrences happening around Centerville. Police officers Ronald Peterson (Adam Driver) and Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray) are perturbed by such events and they only become even more concerned once two local citizens are slaughtered in a vicious fashion. Only a zombie could do such a slaying. Oh boy. This is not going to end well.

The Excellent Night Of The Living Dead Redefined Zombies Forever

Though the concept of zombies had existed in pop culture for ages, and even certain movies like Plan 9 For Outer Space had used zombies in their storylines, it was really George A. Romero's 1968 classic Night Of The Living Dead that not only brought the creatures to a greater level of fame in pop culture but also established a number of trademark traits of zombies. Just as the likes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween would completely upend what moviegoers thought American horror cinema was capable of in the subsequent decade, this particular late 1960's film was a game-changer for both horror fare and how we all think of zombies in general.
