Horror genre: George a' Romero


The character I will be researching would be George a ’Romero. I will be researching him because he is one of the main inspirations in the horror genre. I will be talking about his influence in the horror genre.

George Andrew Romero was born on 4th February 1940. He was born in New York City, USA. George is an all-time legend in zombie horror films. He is an all-time American film director, screen writer and editor. He is well known in the horror category under the zombie genre. He was named as the “god father of all zombies”.

Romero was influenced by other films such as Silent and Sound but main influence was the Tales of Hoffman which was his favourite all-time movie. He quoted that “it was the film making, the fantasy a few frightening, sort of bizarre things in it. It was everything. It was really a movie for me, and it gave me an early appreciation for the power of visual media the fact that you could experiment with it. He was doing all his tricks in camera, and there were sort obvious. Those made me feel that, gee, maybe, I could figure this medium out. It was transparent, but it worked.”

George a ‘Romero has written 25 films such as Another night of the living dead (2011), The Crazies (2010), Survival of the dead (2009), Day of the dead (2007), Dairy of the dead (2007), Il pianto della statua (2007), Night of the living dead (2006), Land of the dead (2005), Night of the living dead survivors cut (2005), Dawn of the dead (2004), Bruiser (2000), The dark half (1993), Night of the living dead (1990), tales of the dark side:the movie(1990), Due occhidiolici (1990), monkey shines (1988), Creepshow 2 (1987), Tales of the dark side (1983-1981), dawn of the dead (1978), Martin (1976), the Crazies (1973), Jack’s wife (1972), night of the living dead (1968), he has done many more things with these films such as the editor, the director and even played as the actor in some films.
