This illustrated guide to the films of George A. Romero--including "Night of the Living Dead" and "Creepshow"--chronicles the independent filmmaker's struggles in a business dominated by the Hollywood studio system. The book includes a listing of films, videocassettes, novelizations and sound-track recordings, and features eight pages of color photos and 100 black-and-white shots. The Zombies That Ate Pittsburgh is the first comprehensive, behind-the-scenes book on the complete career of George A Romero, the outrageous, visionary master of the horror film, whose celebrated hits, among others, include Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, each filled with graphic scenes of flesh-eating zombies that struck terror in the hearts of millions of moviegoers. Based on hours of interviews with Romero - and containing Romero's own reflections and critical comments on his career - Zombies focuses on the making of each Romero film from the development of the story and script through production and distribution. Included are chapters on the three "zombie" movies, plus Martin, Knightriders and Creepshow (which began Romero's association with Stephen King). There is also a rare look at Romero's earlier obscure films and a special section on Tales From the Darkside, plus plots of all his films.
