Welcome to the Living Dead Archive
A shrine to the film that started it all — George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968). Because it’s in the public domain, you can watch the whole thing right here, free, forever.
Settle in. The complete 96-minute feature streams inside a flickering CRT television — static and all (you can switch the static off if your nerves can’t take it).
Siblings Barbra and Johnny drive out to a rural Pennsylvania cemetery to visit their father’s grave. A pale, shambling stranger attacks — and by nightfall the recently dead are rising across the countryside, hungry for the living. Barbra takes refuge in a lonely farmhouse with a resourceful stranger named Ben and a handful of terrified survivors. What unfolds is a single, brutal night that rewrote horror forever.
