Been a Romero fan since 1975 when I was a kid and my parents scared the living shit out of me. Great story how I became a Romero fan. Saddened by this news right now

I haven't visited or posted on this site for years, but I read the news of Romero's passing and knew I had to come back here. So sad.

not been here for a while and was a poster but more of a reader in the very early days of homepage of the dead. Feels like the right place to come after hearing the news. RIP George. Absolutely crushed.

Just heard this morning. Very sad. Romero has been in my "cinematic" life since I was old enough to say his name, even if I wasn't old enough to look at his films. He's the man that got me interested in zombies and the director of a film that scared the absolute crap out of me. 'Day of the Dead' is still the finest example of the genre in movie terms and remarkably, still has the ability to creep me out, which is some feat these days and especially for a film that I've seen countless times. While I wasn't in love with every movie he made, at least he made them on his own terms and there was always something of interest in every one of them, which, in and of itself is an achievement in a business that produces 90% shite every year. Anyway, RIP George Romero.

This is very sad... his films and the wider zombie 'genre' he helped create has been a big part of my life.

My first real discovery of Uncle George was twenty years ago in a magazine article about his work and I was instantly fascinated, and his films had a huge impact on me in my formative years. He's one of the key influences on me getting into filmmaking, he's one of my favourite filmmakers, and two of his flicks are in my all-time Top Ten. Gutted. Absolutely gutted. Rest In Peace, Mr Romero, but long may your cinematic legacy live on!

Anyway, RIP George Romero. Well said, dude. He was one of two idols whom I was so honored to have met; the other being Ray Harryhausen. George seemed always to have an eager interest in what fans had to say. And I'll be eager to see what tributes will be given the Man in his passing; though honestly the greatest was the creation of this site, and all the unique souls who visited HPOTD over the years. Peace out all.

Havnt posted on the site since i was in my teens, maybe it was memory or instinct but this was an important place in my life. I felt the need to come back and pay my respects to him and you guys who let me share my love of his work, even on a dial up connection back then.
