Page "Night of the Living Dead" Paragraph 23

Romero's friends and acquaintances were recruited as zombie extras.

Romero stated, " We had a film company doing commercials and industrial films so there were a lot of people from the advertising game who all wanted to come out and be zombies, and a lot of them did ".

He adds amusingly, " Some people from around Evans City who just thought it was a goof came out to get caked in makeup and lumber around ".
