With just the right mix of cinematic history, horror analysis, and dark humor, we’ll explore the film’s masterful use of atmosphere, its creepy black-and-white visuals, and the timeless scares that still make us hesitate before heading into basements.So grab your popcorn, brace yourself for some undead commentary, and join us for a hilarious yet haunting journey into the movie that made zombies—and horror history—truly unforgettable.
