THE AMUSEMENT PARK

Dir. George A Romero, 1973
60 min, USA

An elderly gentlemen sets out for what he thinks will be a normal day at an amusement park and is soon embroiled in a waking nightmare the likes of which you've never seen! When we say that, we mean it.

This PSA on age discrimination directed by the late, great George A. Romero was filmed for TV but never released. In fact the only mention of it anywhere is in his biography where he laughs it off. Romero was, of course, no stranger to the world of industrial filmmaking. In the early 60's after graduating from Carnegie-Melon University he co-founded his first production company, Latent Image.

Witness a crackup on the bumper cars where the police and insurance agents show up! See swindlers and hucksters take advantage of old people left and right! Witness a coffin plunked right in front of innocent attendees! Made the same year as genre giants SEASON OF THE WITCH and THE CRAZIES, THE AMUSEMENT PARK was lost to the ages...until now.
