Meet Night of the Living Dead's Gary Streiner

[DubiousComforts]

Gary Streiner from the original Night of the Living Dead will make his first-ever convention appearance at the Chiller Theatre Expo in NJ on April 17-19. Gary was Latent Image's soundman and key production personnel on the classic 1968 film. He also portrayed the posse member that dumps Ben's corpse on the bonfire. Gary currently organizes the annual Living Dead Festival in the town of Evans City, PA where the film was shot in 1967. The 2009 spring Chiller Thteare Expo will host an unprecedented number of surviving Night of the Living Dead cast & crew including George Romero, Kyra Schon, Russell Streiner, Bill Hinzman, Judy O'Dea, John Russo, George Kosana and Chuck Craig, as well as noted Romero alumni John Amplas and Lynn Lowry. Don't miss it!

thats great news Gary will be part of the Chiller Theater event.. he has been missing from previous NOTLD reunions..Gary is a class act and proud of his days with Image 10 and involvement with NOTLD. Looking foward to the Chiller show next month and have already rented a Bed and Breakfast with my wife (as we did in 2007)in nearby Zelienople so we can be part of 'The Living Dead Fest' for 2009 in Evans City come Halloween. You wont find a better area either up Butler County way, and Evans City Cemetery is a nice visit to see where it all started 40+ years ago.

Don't miss it! Dubious, It was great meeting you and Gary this weekend. I had a great time talking with Gary about working with Jerry Seinfeld on those old AMEX ads and "Comedian". Gary's excitement for NOTLD and the fans was refreshing to me. Thanks for getting him to come to the show!
