It's Alive
We were kids and one night couldn’t sleep, so we turned on the tv and me, my brother, and my dad watched ‘Night of the Living Dead’ on a local NYC station. This was the days before cable. We had never seen it before. It even included friendly reminders that it was a dramatization, which even as a youngster I thought was very funny.
I was transfixed. It was a scary, scary movie. But fun! I think the circumstances of watching it for the first time contributed to my affection for the film, to this day.
