I guess. Except that I don’t think of “Night of the Living Dead” as iconic except that it transited the genre of ‘zombie’ out of the mystical voodoo realm into a more widespread venue - chemical, alien, other unnatural causes.
I certainly don’t think that the acting in NOLD was of the caliber that couldn’t easily be replaced, either.
