Looking at the world of fiction and popular culture... like film series.
Films relating to Night of the Living Dead...
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Due to a distributor error, Night of the Living Dead was release without a copyright notice. Hilarity ensued.Versions:

- Colourised (1986)
- Colourised (1997)
- Colourised (2004)

Due to creative differences and helped by the lack of copyright, Romero and Russo created their own unrelated sequels.
