October 23 -- Night of the Living Dead (1968 -- 1h35m)

A disparate group of individuals takes refuge in an abandoned house when corpses begin to leave the graveyard in search of fresh human bodies to devour. The pragmatic Ben (Duane Jones) does his best to control the situation, but when the reanimated bodies surround the house, the other survivors begin to panic.

As any semblance of order within the group begins to dissipate, the zombies start to find ways inside -- and one by one, the living humans become the prey of the deceased ones in horror legend George A. Romeros' first film.

Chosen for preservation by the National Film Preservation Board, USA.

"If you want to see what turns a B movie into a classic […] don't miss NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. It is unthinkable for anyone seriously interested in horror movies not to see it." - Rex Reed

"I felt real terror in that neighborhood theater last Saturday afternoon. I saw kids who had no resources they could draw upon to protect themselves from the dread and fear they felt." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
