I posted a small, very low-resolution demo of my 72-minute re-edit, called the "Night of the Living Dead Survivor's Cut" on Archive.org. Within a day I had 50 downloads, then 100, then it was 100 per day. I figured at this point, why not go for the gold, so I asked for the opinion of someone that had experience with re-imagining the film. I contacted Tom Savini via email. He just happened to be connected with writer Dave Dreher, who was writing for Creature Corner. Dave wrote an article...and boom! From there the Internet publicity went global - respected sites like Diabolical Dominion critically acclaimed the Survivor's Cut. After just a few weeks I was seeing articles being written by International sites like Oh My Gore and Zombis among others!)
