E44: The Crazies ('73)/The Amusement Park ('75)/Martin ('77)

Stay Scared: THE ROMERO RETROSPECTIVE In this one we’re tackling three of Romero’s films that laid a foundation for the rest of his career. ‘73’s The Crazies brings biological warfare and military farce to the stage. ‘75’s The Amusement Park is a fascinating look at George’s stance on a paid message. And in ‘77’s Martin, we see a small psychological film about a vampire and what legacy means.
