Discussion Ben was screwed even if he survived night of the living dead
Something that’s not brought up about one of the greatest zombie films of all time night of the living dead. is that the main character Ben would have been screwed even if the mob at the end didn’t shoot him instantly and the thing that would have screwed him was his self defense killing of cooper. Let’s put together our clues on why Ben would be screwed over shall we.
One. The movie is set in the sixties right around the time of the civil rights era a lot of racist people were looking for a reason to strike out and the beginning of the apocalypse would have been perfect timing for a pos like that.
Two. Location the setting of night of the living dead is right in the middle of pensivania which had a lot of kkk at the time
Three. The evidence now it won’t be forensic evidence or anything but all it would take it one racist basterd to point out cooper died from a rifle bullet instead of a bite and cooper is most likely gonna have a mob after him
