I was watching OuterMax last night and I noticed Night of the Living Dead was on. I hadn't watched that movie in a while so I figured I'd check it out. Well I only caught the last 30 minutes of it. Well I noticed that towards the end it showed a reporter. I was like "that looks like Debbie Rohon" but it can't be because she wouldn't have been alive when the movie came out. Then I noticed all these whacked scenes that were never in the original, including a different ending. I then realized I was watching the 30th Anniversary edition that was released on DVD a while back. This was absolute trash. They removed all the tension from the original classic with these new scenes and I couldn't help but be angry at how they can ruin such a classic. These scenes were shot 30 years after the original movie, and they don't fit in well at all. The way it ends would mean there wouldn't be a Dawn of the Dead or Day of the Dead. But it does leave it open for Children of the Living Dead, which is a horrible movie that wanted to be a sequel to Night of the Living Dead. Well it's a sequel to this trash. People need to leave the classics alone. There was no point in adding new scenes 30 years later.
They do kind of fuck up the pace of the movie a little though. I really hated the ending, the actor that played the priest was horrable! The DVD has the option of watching the original version with a remastered soundtrack, or watching the 30th anniversary version.
