George A. Romero brought us a brand new genre in 1968 with the debut of Night of the Living Dead. Today, let’s rank his 6 Dead films from worst to best!

In 1968, horror was a very different landscape. It was played at drive-ins or in third-rate film houses alongside adult films because most thought that horror films shared morally bankrupt views of life as a film like that.

Enter George A. Romero.

Romero had been working with his commercial company The Latent Image. Essentially making industrial films and getting his start where everyone who’s anyone in Pittsburgh gets their start – working for Fred Rogers on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. I mean what’s scarier than the godfather of the zombie genre and a master of horror filming “Mister Rogers Gets a Tonsillectomy”?

So in 1967, Romero and a group of friends, some of which worked with him at the Latent Image, all chipped in some money, rented a farmhouse, and changed horror forever. Making a film that would create a genre, and change everything that you thought you knew about shock and terror. Night of the Living Dead opened the door for things like The Walking Dead, Shaun of the Dead, and Zombieland just to name a few.

I’d go on but there are 6 amazing films that need to be covered so let’s do it! Let’s rank all 6 of George A. Romero’s Living Dead films, from worst to best!
