Lark After Dark: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Monday, 19 October 2026
About this event
George A. Romero’s groundbreaking 1968 Night of the Living Dead traps seven strangers inside a remote farmhouse as the dead begin to rise outside.
Made on a tiny budget, the film became a landmark of independent cinema and transformed screen horror. Its stark black-and-white photography, mounting claustrophobia and relentless sense of dread remain remarkably effective more than half a century later.
Experience a film that changed horror forever where it hits hardest: on the big screen, in a darkened theatre.
Part of Lark After Dark: Home of Halloween in Balbriggan, Fingal.
Screenings: 7pm & 9pm. Tickets: €10 including fees.
