 "Legendary filmmaker George A. Romero, father of the modern movie zombie and creator of the groundbreaking “Night of the Living Dead” franchise, has died at 77. Romero died Sunday in his sleep after a “brief but aggressive battle with lung cancer,” according to a statement to The Times provided by his longtime producing partner, Peter Grunwald. Romero died while listening to the score of one his favorite films, 1952’s “The Quiet Man,” with his wife, Suzanne Desrocher Romero, and daughter, Tina Romero, at his side, the family said." www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-me-george-romero-20170716-story.htmlOh man, this really hurts. Probably the guy that made me the horror fan I am, really gonna miss him. RIP and condolences to his family. Off to marathon Night/Dawn/Day. Man, this is really sad news. |

A very sad evening last night, losing Romero and Martin Landau.

Yeah, RIP to Landau as well. I remember him mostly from The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits reruns and Ed Wood which I really need to watch again some time.
Just checked his IMDB and that dude did a lot of stuff. New stuff of his coming next year. Had a great career.

Oscar winner, the man was damn talented and had a hell of a recognizable voice.
