Daily Dialogue — October 30, 2018

Johnny: They’re coming to get you, Barbara!
Barbara: Stop it! You’re ignorant!
Johnny: They’re coming for you, Barbara!
Barbara: Stop it! You’re acting like a child!
Johnny: They’re coming for you! [points to the cemetery zombie] Look, there comes one of them now!
Barbara: He’ll hear you!
Johnny: Here he comes now! I’m getting out of here!

— Night of the Living Dead (1968), screenplay by John Russo and George Romero

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Cemetery.

Trivia: This is one of the most successful independent movies ever made. Made for $114,000 (equivalent to $798,000 in 2017), it grossed approximately $30 million (equivalent to $210 million in 2017) — over 263 times its budget.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Johnny is obnoxious to his sister in this opening scene from the movie, so clearly he deserves to get assaulted by zombies.
