It premiered on October 1, 1968, and was completed on a US$114,000 budget. The film became a financial success, grossing $12 million Cinema of the United States and $18 million internationally. It has been a cult classic ever since.Â Night of the Living Dead was heavily criticized at its release owing to explicit content, but eventually garnered critical acclaim and has been selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry as a film deemed “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” The film has entered the public domain due to an error by the distributor.

The story follows characters Ben (Duane Jones),Â Barbra (Judith O’Dea), and five others trapped in a rural farmhouse in Pennsylvania which is attacked by unnamed “living dead” monsters, drawing on earlier depictions in popular culture of zombie (fictional). Night of the Living DeadÂ was the basis of five subsequentÂ Night of the Living Dead (film series)Â films (1978”“2010) also directed by Romero, and has inspired remakes.
