RIP George Romero

The father of the zombie genre and someone who helped usher social politics into the horror genre, George Romero died today at the age of 77. Here is Hollywood Reporter's article on his passing.

Night of the Living Dead remains one of my all-time favorite movies, a terrifying glimpse of society that asks us who the real monsters are. Thank you, George, for creating a genre I love so very much and for the many filmmakers and film lovers you have inspired and will continue to inspire.

Here is Edgar Wright's tribute to him.
