Although he's best known for bringing life to the modern zombie with Night of the Living Dead and its sequels, filmmaker George A. Romero also used his camera to capture the intense suspense of the National Football League through several documentary films in the ’70s. Airing tonight at 8:00pm Et on the NFL Network, the latest installment of NFL Films' The Timeline examines the iconic horror director's unique relationship with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it looks like an insightful way for any horror fan to kick off their Halloween season.
If you can't catch its premiere tonight, don't despair, because The Timeline: Night of the Living Steelers will air again on Thursday, October 6th after the Cardinals/49ers game (around 12:00am Et), as well as on Saturday, October 8th at 6:00pm Et. To give you an idea of what to expect, we have the episode's trailer below,...
