Dawn Of The Dead (1978) In this sequel to "Night of the Living Dead", it's a few weeks later after the events of "Night". The situation is getting worse, so two reporters, along with two SWAT team members, decide to steal a helicopter to find a place where they can hide from flesh eating zombies. They find a secluded mall and decide to stop there for the night in order to get some sleep. They decide to stay in the mall, and they barricade themselves in a small room while periodically going downstairs to get things they need, while defending themselves against the zombies and a biker gang in the meantime.

Movie Tagline:
When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.

More Movie Taglines:
  • When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.
  • In 1968, George Romero brought us "Night of the Living Dead." It became the classic horror film of its time. Now, George Romero brings us the most intensely shocking motion picture experience for all time.
Movie Quote(s):
  • [Fran and Stephen are observing from the roof of the mall] Francine Parker: What are they doing? Why do they come here? Stephen: Some kind of instinct. Memory, of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives.
  • [about to run a gauntlet of zombies] Roger: Whad'ya think? Bag it or try for it? Peter: You game? Roger: I need lighter fluid. Peter: You got it.
  • Old Priest: Many have died, last week, on these streets. In the basement of this building, you will find them. I have given them the last rites. Now, you do what you will. You are stronger than us. But soon, I think they be stronger than you. When the dead walk, seņores, we must stop the killing... or lose the war.
  • Dr. Millard Rausch, Scientist: Dummies! Dummies! Dummies!
  • Dr. Millard Rausch, Scientist: This isn't the Republicans versus the Democrats, where we're in a hole economically or... or we're in another war. This is more crucial than that. This is down to the line, folks, this is down to the line. There can be no more divisions among the living!
Movie Trivia:
  • Filmed in Monroeville Mall, Monroeville, PA.
  • A Behind The Scenes still from the Extended Version of the Ultimate DVD boxed set indicates George A. Romero had a third cameo in the picture. The still shows the director standing to the side of the camera, his sleeve rolled up, holding a pistol upwards. Behind him a part of the mall can clearly be seen, indicating it was shot on site. Near the end of the picture, a similar shot exists: a POV from a man holding a pistol firing up past a fenced in area on the upper floor where Peter is running across.
  • The weapons store featured in the film was never a part of the Monroeville Mall. George A. Romero shot those scenes in a gun shop in downtown Pittsburgh and edited the footage in to make it look like it was a shop in the mall.
  • Director Cameo: [George A. Romero] the director in the television studio.
  • Cameo: [Christine Forrest] (wife of George A. Romero) director's assistant in the television studio.
