In the very early 70's, when I was 9 or 10, I started watching horror/monster films on Channel 2's "Creature Feature" program that ran on Friday nights starting at 11:30 pm and going to about 3AM in the morning. About once a year, Creature Features would show _Night of the Living Dead_. The previous week, they would show Night of the Living Dead trailer to promote the upcoming showing. The trailer it self would creep me out and I would skip Creature Feature the next week to avoid the film. I finally saw Night of the Dead when I was 21, watched it in a brightly lit kitchen on a little 8" Black & White TV on the breakfast table. I was creeped out, had trouble sleeping, and when I finally did sleep, had nightmares. Love that film. Happy Halloween 2024!
Reminds me of my older siblings who told me so many horror stories about how they used to watch horror films late night & would be scared. I remember this film & ‘Evil Dead’ being the scariest for them so I can only imagine the nightmares they fueled you. Loved reading this comment Wailwulf. 😊 Happy Halloween 24 to you also. 🎃
