Night of the Living Dead with Morricone Youth
Join us for an evening of undead delight at this live score performance by Morricone Youth to George A. Romero’s 1968 zombie classic!
Shot outside of Pittsburgh at a fraction of the cost of a Hollywood feature by a band of filmmakers determined to make their mark, George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead is one of the great stories of independent cinema: a midnight hit turned box office smash that became one of the most influential films of all time. Kick off your October season of spooky events by hearing it again for the first time!
