NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 1968 (THEATRICAL VIEWING)

I finally got the chance to see this film again on the big screen, and that is a rarity here where I live.

It's very hard to get people where I live to get involved in anything,and classic films is an absolute nill. Only a handful of people showed up for all three showing over this past weekend.

Now, this doesn't interfere with my watching and enjoy my all time favorite film, but I do find a lack of interest startling but no surprising.

I know back in Pennsylvania and Ohio classic horror films, and classic films in general are run all the time and the crowds they get are very impressive. I guess I contribute that to the fact that in the west there is a severe lack of culture and love of classic cinema...I may be wrong, but it's the only conclusion I can draw.

I have been to a few classic film screenings such as "Outlaw Josie Wales", "Magnificent 7" and others and have always been shocked at the small turn out.

Oh well it's all well and good. I had a great time at the 50th Anniversary show for Night Of The Living Dead and it was a good thing that some people besides me showed up...at least a few people have good taste.
