IMHO the best zombie movie ever made. This is the 'theatrical cut,' which is (again, imho) is the best version out there. They've got longer/shorter "cuts" of the movie out there, some with inferior music cues. To me, this is the best by a large margin. Still remember watching "Siskel & Ebert" review it on their show when it came out: "If you can handle the gore, it is an incredibly good movie." If you haven't seen it, here it is:  Failed To Load Title |

I agree. Truly a classic. I saw the preview for the remake in the theater. The second I saw the shopping mall I went full black girl. AAAAAWWWWWWW SSHHHIIIEEEETTTTTTTTT YEAHHHHH!!!!!! of course I was disappointed , because I was comparing it to the original too much. But in time I grew to enjoy it as well |

Enjoy: Dawn Of The Dead (1978) (Extra Long Version)  Failed To Load Title It has several cuts edited together. It's been up on youtube for 4 years so Im assuming it's Kosher? I watched it the other month and was hooked on this edit. |

The remake was good, but I definitely prefer the original. The way it plays with the audience emotions so easily. And of course, it has the best line ever uttered in a horror movie: "When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the earth." So good, they used it in the remake - uttered by the same actor! |

I saw the original pre-release at the movie theater at that mall. (Monroeville) P.S. played hockey on that ice a lifetime ago. |

Dawn of the Dead 1978 was the best of all zombie movies! Best quote of the movie is when the black cop picks up the Browning lever action (BLR ?) rifle and says "The only one that could miss with this is the son of a bitch that could afford it!" Look closely at their AR-15s. They're .22s.  |
Some things I care about; that ain't one of 'em.

Look closely at their AR-15s. They're .22s. Yeah I noticed that, apparently renting out blank firing M16s for movie use were pretty expensive at the time. I still find it funny there was one zombie who didnt even want to attack people, he just wanted guns. |

I was 12 when this was filmed. My house was also 1/4 of a mile from the Monroeville Mall. I remember seeing the helicopter flying around when they were filming. Back then stores were closed in PA on Sunday by law so all of the outdoor shoots were done on Sundays. I also remember driving by the mall with my dad on a Sunday when the helicopter was sitting on the roof of the mall during filming. I was a mall rat growing up. Some one mentioned the gun store at the mall. There was no gun store at the Monroeville Mall. That was filmed elsewhere. There was an ice rink in the mall. It became a food court in the late 80's. 8nBAIT |
