Episode 4: The Dead, The Dollars and The Donuts: George Romero Resurrects the Zombie for Dawn of the Dead
Manage episode 349324773 series 3424904
For tonight’s feature on The Last Late Show we’ll take a look at the 60-million-dollar blockbuster of a college drop-out turned radical young director – who refused to be defined by a genre. A seemingly one-hit wonder by Hollywood executives who’d return from the dead to shock the critics, astound movie studios and infuriate the Motion Picture Association of America in the ultimate tale of the comeback kid.
A film so powerful that it would simultaneously launch the superstar career of one of the most prolific Special FX Artists in horror movie history. We’re talking about none other than George A. Romero and the 1978 horror movie classic Dawn of the Dead…and you here it here only tonight…and only on The Last Late Show.
