Sad, it's too bad where he couldn't find the funding to do the films he wanted to do and ended up making more Dead films. I always thought KNIGHTRIDERS and DAWN OF THE DEAD were his best films followed by MARTIN.

His commentary with Bill Lustig on THE CRAZIES is pretty great and worth checking out if you haven't already.
If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have rented every z-grade horror movie I could get my hands on, and for quite some time. I only shook that off in the past couple years.
I saw him, Savini and Ken Foree talk at a panel for some real small comic show sometime in the late '90s. Sat front row. Room full of maybe 20 people. I take all those times for granted.
Damn, RIP."When I die, I hope to go to Accra"

I was amazed by his age, mainly because it reminded me that he was only in his late 20's when he made NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. That and MARTIN are among my 5 favorite horror movies. DAWN OF THE DEAD would be lurking just outside my top 10. And I don't think it would too controversial to make a claim Romero was the most influential horror director of the last 50 years.VHS will never die!

Looks like Romero will be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Should have happened while he was alive, but it's a nice gesture nevertheless.
