Celebrate spooky season with the movie that started it all! Today’s recommendation comes from our Security Guard, Don.

George A. Romero's 1968 classic horror film Night of the Living Dead follows a group of diverse survivors trapped in a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse as they try to fend off a growing horde of reanimated, flesh-eating corpses.

Stop by the library or visit our catalog to check it out today!
