George Romero passed away on July 16th, aged 77.
"On the morning of July 16, 2017, Romero, age 77, died in his sleep following a "brief but aggressive battle with lung cancer", according to a statement by his longtime producing partner, Peter Grunwald. Romero died while listening to the score of one of his favorite films, The Quiet Man, with his wife, Suzanne Desrocher Romero, and daughter, Tina Romero, at his side"
RIP you magnificant man.
I loved growing up with Romero's movies, from Night of the Living Dead to Day of the dead remake. He was always the one I would refer to when talking about zombie films or games. Dead Island had a slight Romero vibe, though that was eventually topped off for me with Dying Light, which featured the right kind of atmosphere and music that reminded me of those old Romero films.
Come this halloween, I'll try watching all of Romero's horror movies in order to rekindle some nostalgic memories of a great man and the inspiration he had given to others worldwide.
