George Romero

George Romero is considered to be the grandfather of Zombies in modern culture starting with Night of the Living Dead which brought zombies into our culture, but the boom really started with Dawn of the Dead. there has been multiple sequels to the of the Dead series. A game has even taken to using of the Dead in the game name. Though he has been shown to have distaste in newer zombie renditions, especially in the TV series of the Walking Dead, since it doesn't have the same undertone his movies do.
