Σε ηλικία 77 ετών έφυγε από τη ζωή το βράδυ της Κυριακής ο George Romero, σκορπίζοντας θλίψη στον χώρο του κινηματογράφου και ειδικότερα στους φαν των ταινιών τρόμου.
Ο δημιουργός της Νύχτας των Ζωντανών Νεκρών, άφησε ανεξίτηλο το στίγμα του στον χώρο και όπως είναι λογικό οι συνάδελφοί του αλλά και μεγάλες μορφές στο χώρο του τρόμου τον αποχαιρέτησαν μέσω των Social Media.
Sad to hear my favorite collaborator–and good old friend–George Romero has died. George, there will never be another like you.

Goodbye George A Romero. We laughed through 50 years and 9 films. I will miss him. There is a light that has gone out and can’t be replaced. pic.twitter.com/N0MAC1ItVM

George is gone. One of the greatest ever. creator of the modern Zombie-as-undead-cannibal myth and dear friend of mine…

George Romero was a great director, the father of modern horror movies. He was my friend and I will miss him. Rest in peace, George.

Losing both #GeorgeRomero & #MartinLandau this weekend is a doubly tragic loss. They were irreplaceable and we will deeply miss them. RIP

You can trace a direct line from NOTLD to Get Out. And…Romero created the modern zombie. The infectious bite. Shoot the head. Everything.
