- Free Screening courtesy of Old Dominion University Libraries 'Naro Minded' Preshow: 6:30pm Showtime: 7:00pm --- Witness the terror of the rise of the living dead beneath Le Planetarium's beautiful starfield with two stone-cold (dead) classics: a genre-defining masterwork of scrappy American filmmaking, and a blood-n-guts, rock-n-roll, tits-n-ass pseudo-sequel for the MTV generation. No need to pick your poison on this night, you're already dead! --- NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) - Dir. George A. Romero "A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of flesh-eating ghouls newly arisen from their graves, Romero’s claustrophobic vision of a late-sixties America (literally) tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in the lead role." -- Janus Films RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985) - Dir. Dan O'Bannon "Workers accidentally release a chemical that brings the dead back to life at a local cemetery. The ghouls proceed to attack teens who had gathered at the spooky location to party. The men responsible ask the operator of a local crematorium for help in dispatching the monsters." - Swank --- ‘Naro Minded’ Screening Series Free public screenings of cult favorites and new releases with updates on Old Dominion University Libraries’ ongoing project to re-open Naro Expanded Video.
