Romero's own favourite. A vampire film in which there may be no vampire, only a disturbed boy with razor blades.

Romero and King doing EC Comics, with panel borders, primary lighting and a story about a cake.

1985 · USA · 100m

The bleakest of Romero's trilogy, hated on release, and Tom Savini's best work.

1978 · USA/Italy · 126m

The best zombie film ever made, set in a shopping mall, and much funnier than people remember.

Goreledger 9/10
