George A. Romero

		Birthdate: 04 Feb 1940 Birthplace: New York, New York, US George A. Romero is the undisputed champion of the Zombie flick, with his first feature, Night Of The Living Dead being made for next-to-nothing in 1968. This film was a tongue-in-cheek adventure into this genre that soon became a cult film world-wide. Ten years later Romero came out with his second in the installment of three with Dawn Of The Dead which was a brilliantly satirical film packed with some of the most severe gore seen up to that time. Romero has been unable to match these two films, with Day Of The Dead, Monkey Shines: An Experiment In Fear and The Dark Half. However with Martin also in 1978 he did come close; making a superior vampire film that has also become a cult classic.
