I voted Night, but it will suck if Day of the Dead or Martin or Creepshow get no votes.

The first Romero I ever watched was Martin because of this Denny's waiter my friend & I were obsessed with (oh swoon). HIS name was Martin and he had such funny mannerisms: he hardly ever spoke and mainly gestured, and he looked like Bud Cort. Then one day we managed to get him to talk and he told us he was secretly a vampire. Like he was GRAVELY SERIOUS. The next night we were at one of those Blockbusters that has been around since the dawn of VHS & consequently has everything.* MARTIN OMGZ! And holy fuck it's about a kid who's a VAMPIRE!!!!!
*The reason we watched SHOCK TREATMENT was bcz it was at that Blockbuster and the guy on the cover looked like the Dawn of the Dead Hare Krishna zombie (you know the one). We hadn't seen Rocky Horror & didn't know who Richard O'Brien was.

I voted for Martin, which has stuck in my head for 20 years. It's the bells.

This is a Romero-only poll.

Dawn besting Night isn't really a surprise at all, but I am a bunch preturbed to see Creepshow at the very bottom of that list under Bruiser.

I didn't go through everything on Criterion's THREE discs for NotLD -- an 85-minute workprint? -- but most illuminating was a 12-minute bit on Romero's company that made industrial films and commercials in Pittsburgh, clearly a film school for him and his associates.
Also in the dailies, you get to see a crew member supplying cigarette smoke for the aftermath of Duane Jones firing his rifle.
