BiographyGeorge Andrew Romero (February 4, 1940 – July 16, 2017) was an American-Canadian filmmaker, writer, editor, and actor. Regarded as an influential pioneer of the horror film genre, particularly zombie films, he has been described as an "icon" and the "father of the zombie film".

The first three films in his Night of the Living Dead series—Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978), and Day of the Dead (1985)—are widely regarded as among the best and most influential horror films ever made, and were major contributors to the modern cultural image of the zombie.

Noted for his frequent social commentary, Romero had a prolific career outside of zombie films, although still largely within the horror genre. The Crazies (1973), The Amusement Park (1975), Martin (1977), Creepshow (1982), and Monkey Shines (1988) are regarded as minor cult works, as is his anthology television series Tales from the Darkside (1983–1988). His ventures outside horror include the feminist drama film Season of the Witch (1972) and the action film Knightriders (1981), while his final three films—Land of the Dead (2005), Diary of the Dead (2007), and Survival of the Dead (2009)—form the second half of his Night of the Living Dead franchise.
