But it goes farther than that, people!

"Ghosts of Mars" is basically a remake (on Mars) of Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13."

"Assault on Precinct 13" has many things in common with Romero's "Night of the Living Dead," including (as mentioned in a perceptive review I read once) the fact that in both cases the action is drawn to a central location by a character who, once arriving, becomes a vegetable and unable to greatly influence the outcome of the drama (Barbara in NOTLD, and the girl's father in ASSAULT).

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
