Tom Savini‘s Night of the Living Dead, released in 1990, is one remake that many horror fans absolutely love, and it looks like a brand new physical media release is coming soon.
Heather Mazur, who played Sarah Cooper in the 1990 movie, has taken to Instagram this week to reveal that she filmed a new interview for an upcoming release from Sony.
Mazur writes, “Just hung out with the one and only McKee Anderson (aka “mom”) shooting an interview for Sony’s upcoming Blu-ray DVD of 1990s Night of the Living Dead. It was a treat to relive some of those memories. Be on the lookout.”
McKee Anderson played Helen Cooper in the film, the mother of Mazur’s Sarah Cooper.
Night of the Living Dead 1990 has already been released on Blu-ray a couple times in the past, which makes us wonder if this is actually a 4K Ultra HD upgrade for the film.

Actress and producer Marilyn Eastman, best known for her role in George Romero’s 1968 horror film “Night of the Living Dead,” died Aug. 22. She was 87.
Eastman’s son John Eastman confirmed her death in a Facebook post, writing, “I’m very sad to announce the passing of my mother, Marilyn Eastman on 8/22/21 in Tampa, Florida. I cannot overstate how much she enjoyed the affection and attention shown to her by countless ‘Nold’ fans, and up until several weeks ago, was planning personal appearances.”
Eastman was born in Iowa and later moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she began her acting career. Her best-known screen credit is as ordinary wife Helen Cooper (and bug-eating zombie) in Romero’s classic horror flick, but she also did makeup and worked as a producer.
While working as vice president of the Pittsburgh-based industrial firm Hardman Associates alongside actor Karl Hardman who also starred in “Night of the Living Dead,...

The world of horror cinema lost an important figure yesterday. Marilyn Eastman, better known to horror fans as Night of the Living Dead's Helen Cooper, the poor woman caring for her zombie-bitten daughter all while her bigoted husband is screaming at the rest of the survivors, passed away on Sunday at the age of 87.
Eastman was a huge part of the lightning captured in a bottle project originally titled Night of the Flesh Eaters and, believe it or not, her biggest contribution wasn't how she portrayed the only likable member of the Cooper family. That would normally be enough to lionize her...

Marilyn Eastman, an actress who played key roles in the production of George A. Romero’s 1968 zombie classic Night of the Living Dead, has died. Her son John Eastman announced the news on Facebook. She was 87.
As Helen Cooper, Eastman is trapped in a farmhouse by the film’s titular ghouls, then killed with a masonry trowel before herself reanimating. Eastman also did makeup on the horror classic and played a zombie seen eating an insect.
But more importantly, Eastman was vice president of a Pittsburgh-based industrial film firm called Hardman Associates, Inc. and one of the two executives Romero approached about producing his film. She became part of a production company called Image Ten which also included Romero and Karl Hardman. Image Ten put up the initial funds for Night of the Living Dead.

George A. Romero figuratively wrote the book on zombies with his low-budget, independent 1968 horror film epoch Night of the Living Dead. World War Z, 28 Days Later, Zombieland and even The Walking Dead trudged that territory but didn’t map much new terrain. Romero’s final novel, The Living Dead, completed by author Daniel Kraus (The Shape of Water novelization), doesn’t expand on the basics of the zombie apocalypse. It doesn’t challenge the zombie trope Romero filled out with his subsequent works on animated corpses, when The Living Dead had their Day, Dawn, Land, Diary and Survival. But, with it, Romero and Kraus do peer deeper into the mirror to find a bitter reflection of the horrors Romero brings out in The Living.
The Living Dead is character-driven in ways the feature films could never be. In Night of the Living Dead, the audience didn’t know,...

If trading cards are the ultimate Night of the Living Dead collectible, I'd also argue that Night of the Living Dead is the ultimate non-sports trading card. And it's because of the autographs. Stay with me...
The non-sports trading card scene was introduced to the subject of horror movies as early as the 1960s, with Nu Cards' Horror Monster Series and Topps' Monster Laffs, followed by You'll Die Laughing and Shocking Laffs in the 1970s.
What these cards had in common is that they depicted numerous early horror and contemporary B-horror movies in a satirical format. It seems that comedy was the only safe way to deliver horror trading cards to kid consumers of the era. Following blowback from the ban on Topps' famous 1962 sci-fi horror set, Mars Attacks, printers weren't taking any more chances.
It wasn't until the 1980s that individual horror flicks got their own dedicated, non-satirical...

For many of us, Night of the Living Dead is a film we first experienced on late-night TV – some grizzled old print squashed onto a tiny Crt. Now, 50 years after its miraculous inception, Criterion have brought George A. Romero’s small, scary, seminal movie into the gleaming new world of 4K. Night is a public domain movie, mostly to its detriment – but now we have the essential version.
It’s the simplest of stories: a group of people bickering in a farmhouse while a zombie (sorry, “ghoul”) apocalypse closes in. It seems basic now – clichéd even – but nothing like this had been seen at the time. Audiences (including traumatised children at the matinee showings) were appalled and delighted. 1980s splatter had been born a decade premature,...
