Model synopsis: A rural road curves through a barren landscape with leafless trees and a fence. No people or vehicles are visible in the single frame provided.
Public domain through a copyright notice omitted on release in 1968, a rule this registry does not yet apply; the finding is the film's own documented history, not a catalog check.
A farmhouse becomes a test of practical intelligence and collective failure, while the film’s missing copyright notice leaves a separate history of uncertain copies.
The man best equipped to survive Night of the Living Dead is shot by the men clearing the countryside the next morning. Ben, played by Duane Jones, understands the practical work of survival. None of this saves him when he is glimpsed through a window and taken for one of the dead. The ending turns a horror story about recognising danger into something harsher: a story about the lethal ease of misrecognition. With a Black man inside the house and armed white men outside it, the image carries a racial meaning that requires no explanatory speech.
The film marked George A. Romero’s feature film directing and screenwriting debut.1 It was the first production of Image Ten, a Pittsburgh-based company.1 Romero and a group of friends and colleagues shot the film in Evans City, Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh.5 The farmhouse is more than an economical setting. Its limited points of entry make the immediate problem legible to the viewer watching the people inside disagree about its solution. The scale is domestic even when the catastrophe is not.
Barbra, played by Judith O’Dea, reaches the house after an attack in a cemetery. Ben arrives with enough composure to begin making it defensible. Other survivors have already taken refuge in the cellar. At 9:40 in the atlas copy, a figure runs across the yard towards the house. The movement offers the elementary promise of shelter, crossing from exposed ground into an enclosure. Much of what follows dismantles that promise. The walls confine people whose competing ideas of safety become another danger.
The film gives practical work unusual dramatic weight. At 20:07, the instruction “Get some more lights on in this house” makes illumination a task before it is an atmosphere. Someone must make the rooms usable. Ben’s authority grows from this sort of action, rather than from any official position. Against it stands Harry Cooper’s insistence that the cellar offers the only defensible refuge. Their dispute is not simply courage against cowardice. The house really does present incompatible risks. Cooperation becomes harder as each man treats the other’s judgement as a threat.
Beyond the barricades, a second struggle concerns knowledge. At 40:01, a woman’s increasingly alarmed face accompanies a broadcast describing reports that have been “verified as completely as is possible in this confused situation.” The qualification matters. The voice offers the procedures of reliable information without promising control over events. News can establish that the disaster extends beyond the house without making the house safer. The restrained broadcast language also places the impossible beside familiar habits of listening and waiting. By the time organised armed men appear, the viewer has been taught to want an outside authority capable of acting. Ben’s death makes that arrival terrible.
The film’s later history contains a different failure of identification. It was shot as Night of the Flesh Eaters.1 The title changed before release.3 One account links that change to the omission of the copyright notice required for protection at the time.3 That explanation concerns the original release, not every copy subsequently circulated under its title. Preservation has followed a separate path. The Library of Congress added the film to the National Film Registry in 1999.10 Criterion’s edition presents a new restoration of the monaural soundtrack supervised by Romero and Gary Streiner.13 That work is distinct from the mere availability of a copy bearing the title.
The record: No US registration for this title appears in the Catalog of Copyright Entries as loaded (1912-1963). The registry's own note on this copy reads: "Public domain through a copyright notice omitted on release in 1968, a rule this registry does not yet apply; the finding is the film's own documented history, not a catalog check." The atlas uses the Internet Archive copy night_of_the_living_dead_dvd, with 957 shots over 95 minutes. The absent catalog entry and the documented notice omission are different kinds of evidence. This record does not settle the status of every later edition or the elements added to it.
