Review Double Feature: Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Night of the Living Dead (1990)

It's zombie time! Another double feature, this time original vs. remake. In advance of the Spooky Picture Show's screening of the director's cut of the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead at Cinema Salem this past Saturday night, I went back and watched the 1968 original to both see how it holds up and have something to compare the remake to. Given that the original is a stone-cold classic, I think this competition is a foregone conclusion... or is it?

First, the original...
