Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Directed by George A. Romero

The modern zombie is invented in a Pittsburgh farmhouse for $114,000. A copyright filing error put it in the public domain, which is the only reason half of horror exists: everyone could study it for free.

Public domain: the original release omitted a copyright notice. Streams from the Internet Archive.
