Question

Some of these beings wander through shops in a credit sequence set to the obnoxious stock music polka “The Gonk.” One of these beings named Carrefour watches over a crossroads in a reimagining of Jane Eyre by Jacques Tourneur. A sheriff callously tells his deputy “That’s another one for the fire” in a film partly titled for these beings, which was shot on cheap black-and-white film in a condemned farmhouse. Dario Argento edited the international version of a satirical film in which four people hide from these beings in a shopping mall. An African-American hero played by Duane Jones survives these beings, only to be shot dead by a posse, in a 1968 film directed by George Romero. (10[1])For 10 points, what beings from Haitian folklore attack in Night of the Living Dead? ■END■
