Question: In what year was the producer of "Night of the Living Dead: Darkest Dawn" born?
Context: Birth of the Living Dead (sometimes known by its working title Year of the Living Dead) is a 2012 American documentary film directed by Rob Kuhns.  It is about the 1968 horror film "Night of the Living Dead" and that film's legacy.  It features interviews with "Night of the Living Dead" director George A. Romero, Elvis Mitchell, Jason Zinoman, Larry Fessenden, Gale Anne Hurd, and Mark Harris. "Night of the Living Homeless" is episode 1107 (#160) of Comedy Central's "South Park".  It was first broadcast on April 18, 2007.  This episode marks the end of the first half of Season 11, which continued on October 3, 2007.  The episode is rated TV-MA.  It parodies various zombie movies, in particular George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead", "Dawn of the Dead" (including its remake), "Day of the Dead" and "Land of the Dead", plus "Return of the Living Dead" (the homeless repeatedly utter "change" instead of "brains").  The episode is also a satire and commentary on how homeless people are often seen as "degenerates to society". Land of the Dead (also known as George A. Romero's Land of the Dead) is a 2005 post-apocalyptic horror film written and directed by George A. Romero; the fourth of Romero's six "Living Dead" movies, it is preceded by "Night of the Living Dead", "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead", and succeeded by "Diary of the Dead" and "Survival of the Dead".  It was released in 2005, with a budget of $15–19 million, the highest in the series, and became a success, grossing over $46 million. Night of the Living Dead 3D or Night of the Living DE3D is a 2006 horror film made in 3D.  It is the second remake of the 1968 horror classic "Night of the Living Dead".  The first remake was released in 1990 and was directed by Tom Savini from a revised screenplay by George A. Romero.  Unlike the first remake, no one involved with the original is involved with this version.  The original film was never properly copyrighted, and so it has fallen into the public domain, making this remake possible with no permission from the original's creators (the original movie can actually be seen playing on TV in this version). John A. Russo (born February 2, 1939), sometimes credited as Jack Russo or John Russo, is an American screenwriter and film director most commonly associated with the 1968 horror classic film "Night of the Living Dead".

He has performed small roles as an actor, most notably the first ghoul who is stabbed in the head in "Night of the Living Dead", as well as cameos in "There's Always Vanilla" and "House of Frankenstein 1997".  John Russo is also the founder and one of the co-mentors along with Russell Streiner of the John Russo Movie Making Program at DuBois Business College in DuBois, Pennsylvania.  Movie Emporium Inc. will released Russo's CD John Russo's Movie Music, his CD is filled with Songs from his films. Dawn of the Dead (also known internationally as Zombi) is a 1978 American independent zombie horror film directed by George A. Romero.  It was written by Romero in collaboration with the Italian filmmaker Dario Argento and produced by Richard P. Rubinstein.  It was the second film made in Romero's "Living Dead" series and shows in a larger scale the apocalyptic effects on society, though it contains no characters or settings from "Night of the Living Dead".  In the film, a phenomenon of unidentified origin has caused the reanimation of the dead, who prey on human flesh.  David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, and Gaylen Ross star as survivors of the outbreak who barricade themselves inside a suburban shopping mall amid mass hysteria.

She became known for three books "Letters from a Living Dead Man" (1914), "War Letters from the Living Dead Man" (1915), and "Last Letters From the Living Dead Man" (1919), that she said were messages from a dead man produced through automatic writing. Night of the Living Dead: Darkest Dawn, also known as Night of the Living Dead: Origins, is a 2015 computer-animated horror film directed by Krisztian Majdik and Zebediah De Soto and produced by Simon West.  The film is a re-telling of the original "Night of the Living Dead" in a contemporary setting.
