Ever funny top ten list producer Cracked wrote a nice little article about Night of the Living Dead. It’s really just a comparison piece between the old version of the movie and the remake that later followed. The article compares plot point by plot point and in the process, savages most of the women characters. Fear not, there is a disclaimer at the end of the piece:

We at Cracked are not sexist, and do not condone sexist opinions towards…other sexes. However, you cannot deny that the women in this movie are idiots.

They also wrote a great little diddy about Ben in relation to Barbara:

What does Ben do? Does he watch his idiot brother die? Does he crash(note: roll) his car into a bunch of trees? Does he flee to a farmhouse, only to realize that zombies are, in fact, everywhere? Hell no. Instead, he decides to make a grand entrance by smashing through a few walking corpses, and then finishing them off with a tire iron. A damn tire iron! Not a gun, or even a bladed weapon. In the original, he proceeds to cripple one and then light it on fire. In the remake, he had already crippled one with the truck, and proceeded to stab his tire iron through it’s head.

Pretty funny stuff. Just reminder, if you liked Night of the Living Dead, you must check out Tonight of the Living Dead. It’s friggin’ awesome.
