The Great American Paranoia Story: Night of the Living Dead - in the Public Domain. WTF?
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
When researching my very first blog post ever (it was my first, from now on I’m shooting from the hip) I found out Night of the Living Dead was in the public domain.
The film is only from 1968 but it’s true, apparently there was some strange copyright law and the distributor of the film f’ed over George Romero.
I find this really sad, and kind of great at the same time. Sad for a great film; good that I can watch it again for free on the Internet.
If you haven’t seen it, you won’t be disappointed. It’s not all zombies and killing, and that is what makes it great.
