Night of the Living Dead – Table read Podcast
The Table Read Podcast version of George Romero’s classic–direct from the original script–is about to drop. We recorded this recently at Clear Lake Studios in Burbank. A teaser:
From producer Jack Levy’s description:
George A. Romero’s original Night of the Living Dead script has never been performed. Until today.
We just did what the entire horror industry failed to do for 57 years.
We found Romero’s actual 1968 screenplay, the uncut version he wrote before anyone touched it, and we brought it to life exactly as he intended when writing… pre shoot!
Not the movie you’ve seen. The script that invented modern horror and created the zombie genre every franchise has been cannibalizing since.
This is Romero before the budget, before the compromises, before anyone told him what horror was allowed to be.
Raw. Vicious. Perfect.
And somehow, for nearly six decades, not one curator, not one festival, not one self-proclaimed horror expert ever performed it at scale. The most important horror screenplay ever written just sat there like a body in a morgue.
F-That.
We assembled the finest voice talent alive. Produced it with sound design that makes your speakers bleed. And we’re dropping it inside the same number one fiction podcast that just took home a 2025 Webby and a 2025 Shorty.
This is the answer to every question you’ve been screaming at your playlist: Why doesn’t anyone make stories this good anymore?
Because we just did. And it’s breathing.
Act One drops today on Table Read Podcast.
Narrated by Jack Daniel. Starring Zeke Alton and Olivia Graham. With a foreword by New York Times bestselling horror author Scott Sigler.
Romero didn’t remake the world. He tore it open. We just turned the lights back on.
Press play before the dead do. https://lnkd.in/gvBsXJN5
