* SequelGap: Most of the movies in the George A. Romero series have had significant gaps between their release dates and that of their successor. ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968'' was followed 10 years later by ''Film/DawnOfTheDead1978'', followed 7 years later by ''Film/DayOfTheDead1985'', followed 20 years later by ''Film/LandOfTheDead'' (2005). However, the last two movies were released within a few years of each other: ''Film/DiaryOfTheDead'' in 2007 and ''Film/SurvivalOfTheDead'' in 2009. Those are also the only two to share any characters, as ''Survival'' is a POVSequel to ''Dairy''.

** Turns out he also put together a script for a nineteen episode 'Night of the Living Dead' television show, with hopes of airing it in the late 90s. While it doesn't seem to be set in the same continuity as the movies (there is a character named 'Ben', but he's quite different from Duane Jones' portrayal), it still follows the same themes of the film, with Romero himself calling it "a sophisticated black satire of man’s behavior in crisis”, with more black comedy then the films presented (for example, mobile brains that crawl along the floor by using their temporal lobes for traction). One can only wonder how or if this might have affected the turn of the century 'zombie boom' had it been released.
