Public Domain Theatre presents… Night of the Living Dead

If you find that you’re too poor to go to the movies this weekend, or if Netflix has closed your account due to non-payment, then sit back, relax and welcome to Public Domain Theatre’s presentation of Night of the Living Dead.

Directed and independently produced by George A. Romero in 1968, NOTLD lapsed into the public domain—the orphaned child of intellectual property which are not owned or controlled by anyone—after the original theatrical distributor neglected to place a copyright indication on the prints.

NOTLD put zombie movies on the map with it’s creepy story of seven people trapped in a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse. The National Film Registry calls it “historically, culturally or aesthetically important”. I call it a bad idea to watch while tripping.

Starring Duane Jones, Judith O’Dea and Karl Hardman, Public Domain Theatre now proudly presents, Night of the Living Dead.
