Celebrate George Romero’s Birthday This Weekend with a Night of the Living Dead Marathon
Zombie movie lovers can pay tribute to the master of the genre, George A. Romero, this Saturday when Syfy’s official Facebook page plays host to a Facebook Live marathon of his 1968 seminal horror classic Night of the Living Dead.
Honoring Romero’s birthday, the film will play continuously for 12 hours at Facebook.com/Syfy starting at 11:30 AM ET on February 4th. In addition to the Facebook Live marathon, fans can watch a late-night viewing on air on Syfy beginning at 11:42 PM ET.
Fans can also join in on the undead social media conversation with the hashtag #LivingDeadMarathon.
In Night of the Living Dead, the recently deceased rise from the grave and seek the living to use as food. Several people barricade themselves inside a rural house in an attempt to survive the night and discover that these hordes of relentless, shambling zombies can only be killed by a blow to the head. Originally released as an independent horror film, Night of the Living Dead has become a cult classic, redefining the term “zombie” and spawning numerous sequels and imitators.
