George A. Romero
The social satirist who gave us the modern zombie—and the mirror they hold up to us.
Biography
Romero redefined horror with Night of the Living Dead (1968), using gore as commentary. Each film that followed—Dawn, Day, Land—built on his apocalyptic anthropology. He was horror’s conscience.
