I haven't read the entire script of romero's fourth dead installment, but the intr is badass. I want to see it now. jesus ...
BLACK. THE SOUND OF CHANNELS BEING TURNED ON A TV. TITLE UP:
“SOME TIME AGO”.
NEWSCASTER (O.S.)
It’s hard for us here to believe
what we’re reporting to you, but it
does seem to be a fact.
CLICK! In a corner of the BLACK SCREEN, A SMALL TV APPEARS.
On it, in BLACK & WHITE, A NEWSCASTER sits at an anchor desk.
NEWSCASTER (O.S.)
Bodies of the recently dead are
returning to life and attacking the
living.
CLICK! With each CLICK, the TV disappears, then reappears in
a new position ON SCREEN. CREDITS ROLL in the surrounding
BLACK.
NEWSCASTER (O.S.)
Murder victims have shown signs of
having been partially devoured by
their murderers.
CLICK! ANOTHER NEWSCASTER is on the TV now, sitting in a more
modern studio. The broadcast remains in BLACK & WHITE.
SECOND NEWSCASTER
Because of the obvious threat to
untold numbers of citizens, due
to the crisis that is now
developing this radio station will
remain on the air day and night.
CLICK! The second newscaster looks more and more dishevelled.
SECOND NEWSCASTER (O.S.)
It has been established that persons
who have recently died have been
returning to life and eating the
flesh of the living.
CLICK!
SECOND NEWSCASTER (O.S.)
We must not be lulled by the
concept that these are our family
members or our friends. They are not.
They must be destroyed on sight.
CLICK! A THIRD NEWSCASTER, more haggard than the others, sits
at an ANCHOR DESK on a barren set, still in BLACK & WHITE.
2.
THIRD NEWSCASTER (O.S.)
Every dead body that is not
exterminated becomes one of them.
It gets up and kills. The people it
kills get up and kill. They kill
for one reason. They kill for food.
CLICK!
THIRD NEWSCASTER (O.S.)
If this situation is allowed to
continue, there will be nothing
left. Nothing.
CLICK!
THIRD NEWSCASTER (CONT’D)
It’s over. Finished. Finished. It’s
their world now.
CLICK! IN ABSOLUTE BLACK, A SINGLE WORD FADES UP: “TODAY”. A
SOUND FADES IN TOO. TCHICK! KA-TCHICK-TCHICKY-TCHICK! Soft.
Metallic. It makes us nervous...
