Sci-Fi History: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Night of the Living Dead became the first major zombie movie. It cost $114,000 to make and eventually took in $30 million. The film heavily influenced the zombie movie genre. Every film since has either borrowed from or been a response to Night of the Living Dead. The film debuted before the movie rating system went into place. As a result, the violence shocked audiences and led to controversy.
