| Trivia: They keep coming back in a bloodthirsty lust for HUMAN FLESH!... Pits the dead against the living in a struggle for survival! They won't stay dead. Bill Hinzman and Karl Hardman who played small roles were investors in the films, they contributed �300 each. One of the investors was a butcher and supplied Romero with blood and guts. Columbia Pictures was the only Hollywood studio interested in distributing the film, they eventually passed as it was filmed in black and white, and in a new age where colour was all the rage, that was their reason. However, Columbia distributed the remake, obviously realising what a huge mistake it was to deny Night 68. Most of the blood in the movie is actually Bosco chocolate syrup. The car used for the cemetery scene was owned by Russel Streiner�s mother, however, between the two days of filming of the cemetery scene, somebody accidentally put a large dent in the driver�s side door. Romero was forced therefore to re-write the script so that Barbara crashes the car into a tree, thus apparently causing the dent. Judith Ridely (Judy) married Russel Streiner (Johnny) a while after the filming of Night. They are now divorced. On some of the boards used for nailing to the windows, numbers can be seen. These numbers were in fact to ensure continuity between shoots, the reason some numbers can be seen is that some were nailed on backwards. Tom Savini was originally hired by Romero to do the effects as Romero had been introduced to Savini when he auditioned for a role in one of Romero�s earlier films. He brought his effects portfolio along with him. Romero remembered this, but before Night was filmed, Savini was called up by the U.S. Army to be a war photographer in Vietnam.
