Join horror historian, former NWFF Publicity Director, and now published Romero researcher Adam Hart for a brief talk on Romero’s work before the May 4 at 7pm show!
After the presentation and film, we invite the die-hard Romero-heads to stick around with us for a further Q&A, check out Adam’s new book Raising the Dead: The Work of George A. Romero, and hang out. (If you miss him, he’ll be at Grand Illusion the following night for another Romero screening!)
About
(George A. Romero, US, 1982, 120 min, in English)
Creatures! Corpses!! Comic books!!!
In 1982, two horror legends joined forces to make an endlessly entertaining tribute to the horror comics of their youth. Written by Stephen King (his first screenplay!) and directed by George A. Romero (fresh off of Dawn of the Dead and Knightriders), Creepshow assembles five shorts into a splashily colorful, hugely stylish package in which petulant cadavers DEMAND revenge on the living, ancient Arctic monsters terrorize the hallowed halls of academia, and meteors unleash mossy plagues. A cult classic that only grows more beloved by the year, Creepshow is truly the most fun you’ll ever have BEING SCARED!

Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum’s ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. All doors in Northwest Film Forum are non-motorized, and may require staff assistance to open. Our upstairs workshop room is not wheelchair accessible.
The majority of seats in our main cinema are 21″ wide from armrest to armrest; some seats are 19″ wide. We are working on creating the option of removable armrests!
We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter. Also available at the front desk is a Sensory Kit you can borrow, which includes a Communication Card, noise-reducing headphones, and fidget toys.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at suji@nwfilmforum.org. Our phone number (206-329-2629) is voicemail-only, but we check it often.
Made possible due to a grant from Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, in partnership with Sensory Access, our Sensory Access document presents a visual and descriptive walk-through of the NWFF space. View it in advance of attending an in-person event at bit.ly/nwffsocialnarrativepdf, in order to prepare yourself for the experience.
NWFF patrons will be required to wear masks that cover both nose and mouth while in the building. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. We are not currently checking vaccination cards. Recent variants of COVID-19 readily infect and spread between individuals regardless of vaccination status.

Adam will also be speaking at the Grand Illusion Cinema's screening of THE CRAZIES, Sunday, May 5th! Here's a roundup of regional Romero events:
April 26–27 | DAWN OF THE DEAD at Tacoma's Grand Cinema
Long heralded as one of the greatest, most influential horror films of all time, the classic cinematic shocker has been one of the most requested theatrical revival titles from fright fans the world over for the last 30+ years. Unlike other cinematic favorites, George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978) is still not available on any streaming platform, nor on cable, and has been out-of-print on DVD and BluRay in the U.S. for over a decade, so the hunger to watch it just keeps growing among its ravenous fans. Furthermore, the cult following for the film has grown exponentially since its release and is so large now it is estimated that over 80% of Dawn of the Dead‘s fans have never experienced this legendary epic in a theatre.
“A comic apocalypse that has come to maul the becalmed ’70s. I think it’s going to be the biggest cult blockbuster of all time.” – Tom Allen, Village Voice
About the book:
Raising the Dead, published earlier this year, is a dive into Romero’s extraordinary body of work and the personal history preserved in University of Pittsburgh’s George A. Romero Archival Collection. While he may have been pigeonholed by the success of his iconic zombie movies, Romero continued to write prolifically in whatever mode he pleased; he refused to let the caprice of the film industry dictate where he should direct his imaginative energy. This book celebrates the remarkable range of Romero’s interests, as it moves between unfilmed scripts – an all-Black sequel to Night of the Living Dead, sasquatch sagas, more Stephen King collabs, and a “space rock sci-fi musical,” for starters – and familiar classics.
