George Romero's influence on the zombie genre

George Romero is most well known for the genre-altering film, Night of the Living Dead. However, he created many more zombie films than just that one. He is considered a pioneer in the zombie genre.

Night of the Living Dead (1968): The film that changed the genre. Instead of mindless slaves, zombies now wander with the intent to eat human flesh. At least two remakes have been made to varying degrees of success.

Dawn of the Dead (1975): There was a remake in 2004 that had similar zombies, though there were signifigant differences.

Day of the Dead (1985): A zombie apocolypse set in an underground bunker filled with military personnel.

Land of the Dead (2005): Takes place three years after a zombie apocolypse. Some zombies in the movie are shown to have brains (and not ones that they took from people).

Diary of the Dead (2007): A prequel to Night of the Living Dead that documents teenagers making a horror film in the woods.
