Creature Features Episode 149: Martin

In the summer of 1976 production began on George A. Romero’s 5th theatrical offering about a young man convinced he was an 84 year old Vampire. The guerrilla style production allowed the director to make a stark indictment on Catholicism and the indoctrinate element of family. The film though considered one of Romero’s obscure works is also boasted as being one of his finest moments and a personal favorite of the man known for changing the way we look at zombies and on May 10th, 1978 George A. Romero’s MARTIN was released. Proving to audiences there is no real magic
