THE CRAZIES

Following 1968's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, George A. Romero directed a pair of non-horror films (THE AFFAIR and SEASON OF THE WITCH) that have either eluded or underwhelmed longtime fans who preferred the darker and gruesome later work he is most known for.  But in 1973 George Romero completed THE CRAZIES, a film steeped in chaos and fear.  THE CRAZIES tells a story of contagion in a small community, the effect it has on the townspeople as it spreads and the struggle against military forces who try to contain and eradicate the threat.  One of Romero's early "dark horse" films!  Also a discussion of the 2010 remake of TEH CRAZIES, and a remembrance of DAWN OF THE DEAD's David Emge.  Listen on your favorite podcast app.  Please Review, Share and SUBSCRIBE!
