BiographyGeorge Andrew Romero Jr. (February 4, 1940 – July 16, 2017) was an American-Canadian film director, writer, editor and actor. Regarded as an influential pioneer of the horror film genre and in particular zombie films, he has been called an "icon" and the "Father of the Zombie Film". The first half of 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 considered three of the best and most influential horror films made, and were major contributors to the image of the zombie in modern culture.

Noted for his frequent social commentary, Romero had a prolific career outside of zombie films, albeit mostly still within horror: 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 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 hexalogy.
