"They're coming to get you, Barbara. . ." These five words unleashed a terrifying movie classic on an unsuspecting public in 1968, stunning audiences with endless nightmares. George A.

The zombie movie phenomenon had officially been spawned. This is the true story of the flesh-eating classic that started it all.
