Did you know all skeletons come from India? I didn’t, but this movie helped clear that up for me. Frank starts showing him around and tells him about their cataloging system, along with some other interesting tidbits. Frank is trying to tutor Freddy for working in the exciting world of the medical supply industry. A date pops up and informs us that it is July 3, 1984, and we get our first glimpse of two of the main characters, Frank and Freddy. The movie opens with one of those messages telling you that the events that you are about to see are real, but with the ending they used there is no conceivable way that they could make that outrageous claim. The end result was something that didn’t even come close to how the original novel was written.
That was the original plan for Russo’s novel Return of the Living Dead, but when they offered Dan O’Bannon the chance to direct, his only stipulation to take the job was that he was allowed to rewrite the script. John Russo continued to write, but mostly novels instead of scripts, except for the few exceptions were he ended up writing a script from a novel that he had written. After the success of Night of the Living Dead, the partnership between George Romero and John Russo soon ended, with Romero continuing to write and direct his own set of sequels.
