Night of the Living Dead
For a horror film, Night of the Living Dead (1968) is set in an usual local; not Transylvania, but Pennsylvania. Almost universally panned by critics when released, the film eventually developed a cult following, playing on the midnight movie circuit for more than a decade and becoming one of the most influential horror films since Psycho. The film spawned five sequels, and innumerable remakes and clones. Often imitated, but never duplicated, Night of the Living Dead launched director George A. Romero on the path to become the king of Zombiedom. Although the word "zombie" is never used in the film, the living dead carried with them most of the characteristics to be found in later zombie movies, and pushed zombies towards taking center stage as arguably the centerpiece of popular horror.
Romero has readily admitted that Herk Harvey's Carnival of Souls (1962) was a big influence

The word “notorious” can be loosely tossed around when describing a filmmaker that veers even slightly outside of mainstream cinematic confines, but when applied to Bruce Labruce, the term couldn’t be more accurate. Scenes of hardcore gay porn, Nazi fetishism and explicit gore, either separately or brazenly combined, are just a few of the subjects Labruce explores in films like No Skin Off My Ass, Skin Gang, Super 8 1/2, Hustler White and The Raspberry Reich.
Labruce’s latest film, Otto; Or, Up With Dead People, is a meditation on homosexuality, cinema and intimate relationships through the filter of a zombie flick. The first of his films to employ a full-on horror convention (zombies), Otto furthers Labruce’s boundary pushing reputation. And yet, mainstream audiences have taken the bait. Yes, it’s true—Otto is the first zombie film with hardcore gay porn scenes to screen at Sundance.
