5 Feet of Fury

Bill Hinzman, film’s most famous zombie and fan favorite, finally really dies for real

Aw!

Chicago Sun-Times:

Bill Hinzman, credited with helping to give birth to a new horror film genre for his chilling role as the first zombie to lurch onscreen in “Night of the Living Dead,” used to joke with his family that they had better handle his funeral arrangements in exactly the right way…

Still effective after all this time.

UPDATE: wow, they’re dropping like (shot in the head) zombies!
