Quote

You can fall on your face easily if you go off in a certain direction. The Birds is a good example, some people are really phobic about birds flying over their heads, and some don't care. So, it's a personal thing.

It would be very hard to write a serious drama and say some of these things. You can be much more abstract and allusive with horror, and it's very forgiving to the author. You don't necessarily have to take an absolutely positive position. You can just write whatever.

I'm like my zombies. I won't stay dead!
George A. Romero
Image
Everybody knows the rules, even though some break those rules.
George A. Romero
Image
Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.

For a Catholic kid in parochial school, the only way to survive the beatings - by classmates, not the nuns - was to be the funny guy.
George A. Romero

If I fail, the film industry writes me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.
George A. Romero
Image
As a filmmaker you get typecast just as much as an actor does, so I'm trapped in a genre that I love, but I'm trapped in it!

Zombies are always moving fast in video games. It makes sense if you think about it. Those games are all about hand-eye coordination and how quickly can you get them before they get you.
George A. Romero
Image
My opinion of a good zombie walk is to loll your head as if it's a little too heavy and the muscles have begun to atrophy.
George A. Romero
Image
I keep a little notebook of things that I can do to the zombies that might be silly and fun.
George A. Romero
Image
Nothings ever real until its real.
George A. Romero

Movies are about escape.
George A. Romero
Image
I don't want a zombie society. I don't want to go that far.
George A. Romero
Image
There are so many factors when you think of your own films. You think of the people you worked on it with, and somehow forget the movie. You can't forgive the movie for a long time. It takes a few years to look at it with any objectivity and forgive its flaws.
George A. Romero
Image
When I was old enough to go to movies alone, I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them.
George A. Romero
Image
I expect a zombie to show up on Sesame Street soon, teaching kids to count.
George A. Romero
Image
I think zombies would fit in anywhere. You can tell any story, and put zombies in it. I don't know how I'd find the backing, but I think it'd be great to make a zombie gangster movie.
George A. Romero
Image
I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.

Anybody who tunes into Rush Limabaugh already knows what he's going to say and is already inclined to agree. So it winds up creating tribes.
