I had just watched Dawn of the Dead last week. It's still a fantastic movie and easily his best. I love that its less about conventional scares and is essentially about living through the apocalypse, including all the banality that the characters face from time to time.

I also have a lot of affection for Creepshow, which I like to put on from time to time.

George A. Romero basically created an entire genre and, sadly, didn't see nearly the money from it he should have. But at least Night of the Living Dead being in the public domain means now it belongs to all of us.

He's going to be missed.
