Harry Cooper

Harry Cooper was played by Karl Hardman in Night of the Living Dead and by Tom Towles in the remake.

Original
He hid with three others in the cellar when Barbara and Ben entered. Later he came out of the cellar with the others and, after reading the radio and realising the problem was nationwide, he was inclined to continue to hide in there. He behaved erratially. He is killed by Karen when she is turned into a zombie.

Remake
He hid with three others in the cellar when Barbara and Ben entered. Later he came out of the cellar with the others and announced he was inclined to continue to hide in there. He behaved erratially in a general manner to the extent of wounding Ben in order to protect Karen who had become a zombie, which contributed to Ben being killed later.

He is killed by Barbara in revenge for the event when everything is over and burned with the other zombies.
