Today, we celebrate what would have been the 93rd birthday of the rugged American actor Christopher George.

George may have gotten his start in westerns and war movies but he is best remembered for a series of horror films in which he appeared in the late 70s and early 80s.  One of the best of those was Lucio Fulci’s 1980 classic, City of the Living Dead.

In today’s scene that I love, Christopher George plays a reporter who realizes that psychic Catriona MacColl has been buried alive.  He digs her up.  Of course, this is a Fulci film, so things nearly go terribly wrong.
