Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The inside story of the important horror classic "Night of the Living Dead" as told by those who were there and those who were inspired by it. Including rare archival interviews, new interviews and visits to the original locations, "Chronicles of the Living Dead" also addresses the issue of the film's infamous copyright status, a legal debacle that continues to plague the original creators to this day. Named one of the 100 Most Important American Films by both the AFI and the BBC, "Night" is brought alive once again through the fond rememberances of the cast and crew.
