Description: The TV clicks on. Everything else clicks off.The screen glows like the last church in hell. A newscaster reads order into chaos while the world decomposes behind him. Ben watches like a man staring at his own grave. Barbara, in Olivia Graham’s haunting performance, doesn’t watch at all. She’s already gone.Then the floor creaks. Harry Cooper climbs out of the basement like ego in human form. Jim Connor gives him every ounce of misplaced authority. Behind him, Helen (Wendy Shapero) and their daughter—pale, bitten, doomed.Romero stops making a zombie movie and starts the autopsy. The dead don’t kill the living. The living do that themselves.Ben wants the boards. Harry wants the basement. Tom (Charlie Bodin) just wants peace. Every word is gasoline. Every silence is a match.When dawn comes, it’s not rescue. It’s rifles. One shot. One mistake. One truth.Romero didn’t make horror. He made history. Turn off the lights. Lock the doors. Remember who the real monsters were.CAST Narrator: Jack Daniel Ben: Zeke Alton Barbara: Olivia Graham Harry Cooper: Jim Connor Helen Cooper: Wendy Shapero Tom: Charlie Bodin Sheriff McClelland: Rob Fitzgerald Announcer: Adam Pilver Ghouls: Natalia Castellanos & Josh SterlingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
