Romero + Savini:
Horror’s Greatest Partnership, Part 3

In this episode, we'll get into all the details on how this movie came to be, and how it changed the landscape of the genre forever. DAWN also fully solidified Romero as a filmmaker known for infusing his films with social commentary, something he'd continue to do for the rest of his career.
