This is the CLASSIC George A. Romero Horror/Thriller about an unlucky day that shambling zombies arose from the dead to eat the living and spread their terrible blight! Shot in Black and White, with minimal SFX and a paltry budget yet even today the nightmare premise, decent acting and understated gore cause understandable fear in its viewers. Look for deeper messages and where this film might lead if you dare.

Newscaster: Reports, incredible as they may seem, are not the results of mass hysteria.
Harry Cooper: "Mass hysteria?" What do they think, we're imagining all this?
Ben: Shut up.
Trivia: The scene where Barbara crashes the car into the tree wasn't scripted originally; an accident that put a large dent in the car before the scene was shot prompted George Romero to re-write the scene in such a way that the dent is justified.

Answer: Yes, director George Romero announced in 2015 that he had rediscovered some 16mm working footage that never made it into the movie, including a full 9-minute sequence (a jump-cut of the basement scene) featuring the largest zombie attack in the film. Although Romero died earlier this year, film legend Martin Scorsese was said to be overseeing the film's restoration including the found footage.
