Scene End

“Night of the Living Dead” and “The Devil’s Messenger” are both movies that share a common piece of background music. The music belonged to the library of music from WRS Studios. In “The Night of the Living Dead” the music was used in the scene where Ben sits down on the couch after blocking the door and then looks in the closet and finds a gun. The music was used to create suspense and a feeling of an intense moment. In “The Devil’s Messenger” the music was used during the opening credits and the first scene. The first scene takes place in the dark room and the eerie music in the background definitely set the mood for the movie. In “The Night of the Living Dead” there is no dialogue over the music where as in “The Devil’s Messenger” there is a dialogue over it.

The music used in George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” is the same music used in Tom Graeff’s “Teenagers from Outer Space”. Both movies are science fiction, so the eerie music works in both films perfectly. The same futuristic, ominous sounds are used for the background music and it builds up tension and gives you a feeling of doom in both movies. There are scenes in “Teenagers from Outer Space” which has upbeat background music, which “Night of the Living Dead does not. The upbeat music takes place when the rogue alien runs into town and is greeted by children in a park and a gas station attendant who cheerily gives him directions as well as other moments in the town and with other “earthlings”. There were no cheery moments in “Night of the Living Dead”!
