The Night of the Dead is a whole night of horror films shown as part of the annual Leeds International Film Festival. Beginning in 2001, it has become a firm fan favourite, selling out well before the event. Since Night of the Dead V, this event has taken place at the Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds, England.
As well as the films there is plenty of banter between films between the "organisers" and the audience. There is the giving away of prizes either for doing, not doing or claiming to have done things that those running the event deem worthy. There is also often an appearance by somebody involved with the making of one of the films shown for a Q&A session.

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or dead:
“A great cause of the night is lack of the sun.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He turns agen and drives the noisy crowd
And beats the dogs in noises loud.
He drives away and beats them every one,
And then they loose them all and set them on.
He falls as dead and kicked by boys and men,
Then starts and grins and drives the crowd agen;
Till kicked and torn and beaten out he lies
And leaves his hold and cackles, groans, and dies.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
