Reuters via New York Times; George A. Romero, Father of Zombie Movies, Dies at 77
"Originally called "Night of the Flesh Eaters," the title was changed by the film's distributor, Walter Reade. Somehow, no copyright protection was filed after the name change, putting "Night of the Living Dead" into the public domain and allowing anyone to distribute it for free.
Romero told The New York Times in 2016 that many more people saw the movie as result, "keeping the film alive.""
