They're kind of scarier for that, scarier than big, special effects, sci-fi monsters," Grunwald said. Romero influenced a generation of filmmakers including Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo del Toro, Robert Rodriguez and the late Wes Craven, according to Grunwald. Romero owned a small commercial production company when he convinced nine others to put up a small amount of money to finance "Night of the Living Dead," Grunwald said. Somehow, no copyright protection was filed after the name change, putting "Night of the Living Dead" into the public domain and allowing anyone to distribute it for free. Romero told The New York Times in 2016 that many more people saw the movie as result, "keeping the film alive."
