The Amusement Park, "A Film On the Problems of the Aging in Our Society"
When Night of the Living Dead premiered in late 1968, the idea of a feature film from Pittsburgh was a novelty, to say the least. The sad saga of how Night’s profits failed to trickle back to the Pittsburgh-based filmmakers is well-known at this point, but, even without their share of the box office, George Romero and his compatriots in the Latent Image had momentum. They had proven that a low-budget indie from Pittsburgh (of all places) could be a hit! And, of course, they had proven to be hitmakers.
