#FIRSTLOOK: HOLLYWOOD SUITE PRESENTS “RAISING THE DEAD: RE-EXAMINING NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD”

The Night of the Living Dead set the benchmark for the Zombie genre today and Hollywood Suite Documentary RAISING THE DEAD: RE-EXAMINING NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD dives deep into the Film, which with a low budget and unknown actors went-on to become a classic.

“I wanted to dive into the film that set the template for the zombie genre and discover what gives this low-budget film such a cult-following and staying power,” said Ryan Mains, Director and Producer, Raising the Dead: Re-examining Night of the Living Dead. “Bringing together the crew’s behind-the-scenes stories and modern film authorities’ analysis, has expanded my respect and admiration for the film and its filmmaker.”

The Doc makes its world broadcast premiere on Hollywood Suite on May 29, 2020 at 9:00 pm ET on Hollywood Suite 70s Movies, immediately followed by Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968) at 9:40 pm ET and Dawn of the Dead (1978) at 11:20 pm ET.  It will be available in Black and White “Monochrome” Edition and colour on-demand, on the Hollywood Suite GO App and HSGO.CA.
