- TriviaDue to a technicality arising from now defunct copyright laws that stated copyright information must be included in a film's credits, they were able to use footage from the original Night Of The Living Dead without permission.
- GoofsDuring the cemetery scene approximately 18 min and 20 seconds into the film you can clearly see the entire body waist up of a guy in sunglasses and a white shirt holding a boom mic and standing directly behind the two character in full view of the camera. He is so noticeable that he could easily be mistaken for a character standing behind them, but then you realize he's actually just a boom mic operator holding the boom mic which is also in full view of the camera.

Featured review
A group of horror fans find themselves unwilling participants in a nightmarish role playing game that pays homage to a classic horror film.
I like the idea they were going for here -- a group of people recreating "Night of the Living Dead". With all the sequels, remakes, and ripoffs, I am a bit wary of anything related to NoTLD these days. But I really think this idea had merit.
However, I am not sure if it succeeded. At times, it seemed to drag, and I really disliked the role played by Sid Haig. Haig, being a well-known horror icon, should probably have played himself at the convention. In fact, for the film to make complete sense, the role would have had to be George Romero playing George Romero. I assume they know this and simply could not get him.
