Yes, it aided my quite a bit in my occupation. I made many of my friends read it so I wouldn't have to deal with their dead weight in the worst of situations.

Creepshow 3 and Day of the Dead 2 haven't been released yet, but they will be out soon... just you wait... haha

That isn't entirely true.

According to the IMDB:
John A. Russo wrote a script called "The Return of the Living Dead" at the same time that George Romero was doing Dawn of the Dead (1978). An independent producer, Tom Fox, bought Russo's script. He set up production and gave the script to Dan O'Bannon. O'Bannon refused to direct it as it was written. He felt that it was too much of a serious attempt at making a sequel to Night of the Living Dead (1968), and did not want to "...intrude so directly on Romero's turf". It was re-written with more humor.

John Russo co-wrote the original NOTLD with Romero and IIRC have always argued over the rights to it. Russo was also responsible for the extra scenes in the Anchor Bay 30th anniversary DVD release.

That's what I'm getting at, Romero had no involvement. As far as I know, the two don't even talk to each other anymore. Russo added (and took away) scenes in the 30th Anniversary to NOTLD to make it "fit better" with his sequels versus Romero's sequels. From what I hear, they are all shit.

Brains...
