Director John Carpenter subtly slams 'The Walking Dead'

"Halloween" director John Carpenter, criticising "The Walking Dead" series, says the TV show is "milking" George Romero's 1968 film "Night of the Living Dead".

Appearing on an episode of WTF Podcast with Marc Maron, Carpenter subtly criticised the popular AMC series when talking about his peer Romero, the filmmaker attributed with inventing the zombie genre with "Night of the Living Dead" in 1968, reported The Independent.

"[The Walking Dead] was a movie that George Romero made back in 1968. And they have milked that, and they are still milking it," he said.
