It was 1968. George A. Romero and a group of his friends and co-workers pooled their money and resources together to make a horror film. That horror film was Night of the Living Dead and it changed the course of horror forever by ushering in the modern age. George A. Romero celebrates his 71st birthday on February 4th. Mutantiville.com and the Mutantville Players would like to wish Mr. Romero a happy birthday. Mutantville.com would like to award Mr. Romero the Inspirational Filmmaker of the Month award for February 2011 for his influence on and undying dedication to the genre we all love. Thank you for the many amazing movies and here’s to hoping for many more.
