John Russo began his career by co-authoring the screenplay for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD which has spawned several sequels, and inspired many other films of the same genre!

The campaign's Perks include many limited and exclusive items, as well as exciting film career enhancing credits and acting roles! -- Once in a lifetime opportunities. Even if we don't reach our goal, we will direct any funds accrued via this campaign towards the production and marketing of this film. Backing this project allows our director to film a truer vision of his classic horror novel, now updated for 2013. John Russo would like to remake THIS movie so he can do the things he could not 30 years ago.
