Written, filmed, and released in 1968 by a rag tag group of Pittsburgh based misfits, George A. Romero's Night Of The Living Dead is an American independent horror film that follows the story of seven people trapped in a rural farmhouse that is besieged by a large and growing group of living dead ghouls. The film is regarded as a cult classic by critics, film scholars, and fans and has garnered critical acclaim. The film has been selected by the Library Of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry and is deemed »culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant«.

Filmed and released on a shoestring budget, Night Of The Living Dead became a smashing success earning over 250 times its budget. The film is a first of its kind and ushered in a new way of writing, directing, and filming horror films. The overused script of romantic, fantastical tales of otherworldly monsters and creatures was completely flipped and tossed aside by visionary George A. Romero. As the film's writer and director, Romero created a new, obvious threat, and one that is universally recognizable - Our very own neighbors. Due to an unseen force beyond man's control, the recently deceased arise from the dead in seek of living human victims. These ghouls kill and feast upon the flesh of their victims, and the only way of stopping them is by destroying their brains.

From 2015 to 2018, Waxwork Records worked closely with the remaining members of the independent production company that made Night Of The Living Dead, Image Ten, in an effort to produce a definitive soundtrack album featuring all music from the film. Much of the film's music was thought to be lost or destroyed, but was located in its entirety and faithfully restored and re-mastered for vinyl.
