Inspired Romero?

Watching it on TCM, some of the graveyard imagery (specifically the biker chick with the booze bottle and the corpse coming out of the ground) reminded me of Creepshow (1982) and the segment 'Father's Day.'

Malcolm and his underaged girlfriend have Walker's mansion all to themselves, until a biker gang comes and spoils it all. Romero's Dawn '78, anyone?

I also interpreted his relationship with the young girl as inappropriate.
