"Mr. Garrity and the Graves"[1] is an episode of the American television series The Twilight Zone.

Plot:
A traveling peddler, Garrity, arrives in the little, recently renamed town of Happiness, Arizona, offering to bring the townsfolk’s dead back from Boot Hill. Initially, they don't believe him, but when he appears to resurrect a dead dog struck by a traveler's horse-drawn wagon, they do believe him.

After performing the resurrection ritual, Garrity, in seemingly casual conversation, reminds the people about the dead and departed, almost all of whom were murdered: who died having a score to settle with whom, and so forth.

The townsfolk grow uncomfortable at the thought of facing problems they thought buried with the dead; when one apparent resurrectee is seen approaching town, his brother, who shot the man himself, bribes Garrity to reverse the ritual, and the figure vanishes. Ultimately, everyone in town similarly pays Garrity to NOT revive their "loved ones."

Later that night, Garrity and his assistant (who was both wagon driver and "resurrectee") ride away with the money, joking about how they cannot actually bring the dead back to life: they had simply performed a few smoke and mirrors tricks to con the townsfolk, and used a dog that was alive the whole time but simply knew how to play dead.

After they have left the town, the last scene reveals that the dead really are rising from the grave, with one commenting that the peddler underestimates his own ability.

Is it just a coincidence that the author of this article's last name is Romero?

Night of the Living Dead is a 1968 American independent zombie horror film, directed by George A. Romero, starring Duane Jones and Judith O'Dea. It premiered on October 1, 1968, and was completed on a $114,000 budget. The film became a financial success, grossing $12 million domestically and $18 million internationally. It has been a cult classic ever since. Night of the Living Dead was heavily criticized at its release for its explicit gore. It eventually garnered critical acclaim and has been selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry, as a film deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[2][3]--wikipedia

You think your own kids’ music sucks? Wait til you hear pop music 100 years after you were a senior in high school.

my grand son of 9 years was given an electric guitar by my son’s 70’s rock infested friends. My son bought him an amplifier capable of duplicating an enormous and bewildering array of different synthesized sounds on it.

you don’t need to wait a hundred years, the apocalypse is now

100 years after I was a senior in high school?

I don't even want top make it to 80, let alone to 118.

Nothing new. The dead routinely vote Democrat every year.

OK, but when I see him I’m not gonna call him that.

That was 1973 for me and got me all worked up for a good song from my senior year. I think maybe the summer before senior year actually.
