Zombies are cultural appropriation from Haitian culture

Interesting little tidbit, there. I didn't know that. Found this on Wikipedia.
quote:
Night of the Living Dead entered the public domain in the United States because the original theatrical distributor, the Walter Reade Organization, neglected to place a copyright indication on the prints. In 1968, United States copyright law required a proper notice for a work to maintain a copyright. Image Ten displayed such a notice on the title frames of the film beneath the original title, Night of the Flesh Eaters. The distributor removed the statement when it changed the title.
Because of its public domain status, the film is sold on home video by many distributors. As of 2017, Amazon.com lists copies of Night of the Living Dead numbering 18 on VHS, 219 on DVD, 10 on Blu-ray and 44 on Amazon Video. The original film is available to view or download free on Internet sites, such as Internet Archive, Hulu, and YouTube. As of January 22, 2017, it is the Internet Archive's most-downloaded film, with over 2.8 million downloads.

did you just happen to run across this or was there an alert on the zombie emergency network or something like that?

Took a nap and when I woke up it was just breaking on Facebook. I'm friends with tons of horror authors and lovers, so my Facebook feed is just a big Romero memorial right now.
