Because you asked for it: “Night of the Living Dead”… THE OPERA.
The composer is Todd Goodman and the librettist Stephen Catanzarite, adapting from the screenplay by John Russo and George A. Romero.
Act I
Act II
The opera is sung in English, but there are no subtitles. I don’t think there’s any mistaking the action or most of the words. Still, I’m not going to discourage you from refamiliarizing yourself with “the ‘Citizen Kane’ of zombie movies.” The film is in the public domain, so it’s available for free streaming everywhere. There’s a pretty good transfer of it on the “Night of the Living Dead” Wikipedia page.

Go ahead and gorge yourself on opera and offal. And don’t forget, Roy and I will discuss this undying classic on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, when we livestream (or “Dead”-stream, as it were) on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, tonight at 7:30 EDT!
