This is the best thing we’ve seen all week. And you should really watch it too.

The late George A. Romero once said that he never thought of the ghouls in his Night of the Living Dead as being “zombies,” but rather they were “dead neighbors” to him. This quote inspired the team over at Fright Rags to put together a wonderful little short for the film’s 50th anniversary, which is fittingly titled, well… Dead Neighbors.

Running just under six minutes long, the short centers on a young George Romero, and imagines a scenario that implanted the idea for Night of the Living Dead into his young mind.

Not to spoil the fun, but keep your eyes peeled for a cameo from a NotLD star!
