• While writing the script for Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero and John A. Russo contemplated how they should have the zombies destroyed. Co-star and makeup artist Marilyn Eastman joked that they could throw pies into their faces. This is undoubtedly the basis for the pie fight scene in this film.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): As the Trivia Section notes, shooting of the movie was done during the Christmas Season and was suspended during the holidays to avoid the cost of re-hanging decorations. As a result, JC Penney (the store of which they keep going in and out), has a sign in the window saying "After-Christmas Sale" later in the movie.
• SPOILER: Real cow intestines were used in the scene where Sledge (Taso N. Stavrakis) gets his guts ripped out. Tom Savini said that he lived near a slaughterhouse and that's how he got the idea to do the effect.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): When Roger slides down the middle of the escalator and lands on the first first floor there is nothing there. When Peter, Roger and Stephen run down the steps just a few minutes later, there is a white trash can now blocking the middle of the escalator.
