In this episode of The Forgotten Flix Podcast, we’re taking on a double-feature of the undead as we discuss the classic Night of the Living Dead (1968) and the surprisingly effective 1990 remake!
Director: George A. Romero (1968 version); Tom Savini (1990 version)
Cast of ’68 version: Judith O’Dea, Duane Jones, Karl Hardman, Marilyn Eastman, Keith Wayne, Judith Ridley, Russell Streiner and Bill Hinzman.
Cast of ’90 version: Tony Todd, Patricia Tallman, Tom Towles, McKee Anderson, William Butler, Katie Finneran and Bill Moseley.
Synopsis: After a short stop in a rural cemetery, Barbara (Judith O’Dea in the ’68 version and Patricia Tallman in the ’90 version) finds herself outrunning the living dead! She takes refuge in an isolated farmhouse along with Ben (Duane Jones in ’68, Tony Todd in ’90) and a few other survivors. But as the night wears on, they all find themselves battling each other as much as they do the undead hoards trying to eat them.
