In 1990, the horror world paused to pay tribute to a true genre-defining classic. Night of the Living Dead, the film that changed the face of horror cinema forever, was officially inducted into the Horror Hall of Fame during a star-studded awards show hosted by none other than Robert Englund—the man behind the clawed glove himself, Freddy Krueger.
This unforgettable moment saw Cujo star Danny Pintauro and horror icon Jason Voorhees (in full masked maniac mode) present the induction award—an imposing cloaked grim reaper-style figure—to John Russo and Russ Streiner, two of the original creators behind George A. Romero’s undead masterpiece.
With its gritty realism, shocking violence, and unrelenting atmosphere, Night of the Living Dead broke all the rules in 1968. By 1990, it was being recognized not just as a horror milestone, but as a cultural touchstone that had left an indelible mark on cinema history.
