Why the living dead pull in the cinema audiences. The defining horror monsters of our times, zombies are seen everywhere from TV shows like the Walking Dead, to films like last year's Korean hit Train to Busan. And it's all down to the man who made the film, Night of the Living Dead, back in 1968. George A Romero who has just died, made a series of hugely popular zombie films.
