Still the greatest zombie movie ever made. We miss you George

It is so heartbreaking knowing the great George A. Romero isn’t with us anymore. I used to watch Dawn Of The Dead, the 1990 Tom Savini Night Of The Living Dead and Day Of The Dead as a young lad and get so excited to show my pals these movies. Even to this day I still watch them when I can’t figure out what to watch. Amazing movies, even more amazing dudes who made these movies. R.I.P. George A. Romero, you’ll be greatly missed.

Gotta love George Romero: never took the easy way. Even with the actors telling him the film was disgusting, he’d just grin and say “I know”. Love Ken Foree - Infectious enthusiasm.

I’ve been watching this movie once a year (October 31st) for the last 3 decades,and it never gets old. 🧟‍♂️ 🩸 🧟‍♂️ 🩸 🧟‍♂️

I met Mr Romero at the premiere of Land of the Dead, he signed my ticket and chatted with me and my mate for a good 10 minutes, lovely guy and really fun to chat with great sense of humour definately the main man of zombies 😀 much love and RIP.

RIP David Emge. Flyboy you will be missed.

The Monroeville Mall was my local mall long before they filmed “Dawn”- I remember going there to shop while they were filming “Dawn” during the night and cleaning up the mall to reopen during the day! Fun memories!

Dario Argento inviting you to Rome for a "change in scenery" to "help with the writing" sounds suspiciously like the start of every Giallo ever. The next thing that happens would be you witnessing a murder and/or get entangled in murder plot. Followed by interrogation by Italian police who also confiscates your passport. Then all hell breaks loose

Rest in Peace to David Emge

2022 and 'Dawn Of The Dead' still stands alone as the greatest Zombie movie ever made.Thank you George A Romero! RIP 💀📽

This movie was so incredibly well written and filmed with the perfect selection of actors, no big shots. Everything was perfectly put together and scared the heck out of us "latchkey" kids.

There will never be another George A. Romero. The man was truly one of a kind. Its just too bad we didn't get to see his last installment of the "Dead" franchise. RIP George, you are truly missed.

Since 1978 I have not been able to listen to The Gonk without thinking of this movie.

I saw this at a drive in , when there was still just a thing. I was maybe 15, and to top off this memory, I went with my dad. We loved all things horror, this epic zombie classic shot to the top of our list as the greatest twisted horror, comic, Hodgepodge of a ride we had ever experienced. Just showed this to my grandson, and we connected. It's a magical elixir. RIP Mr. Romero

Every Halloween me and my 3 sons watch night and then dawn of the dead. It has a special meaning to me.

George A Romero and Tom Savini created the perfect zombie movie, a true classic.

My dad introduced me to the living dead series as a kid. Dawn is what cemented my love of horror. Each scene is still burned into my brain. Nobody made zombie flicks as good as Romero RIP 🧟‍♂️

im saw this film when i was a teenager and it still remains my favourite zombie movie, they just got everything right in this one and it had a great cast ! well done george and r.i,p. thank you.

I enjoy watching this because, I'm 60 year's old , born 05/16/1960 . George Romero's Night of the living dead gave me nightmares the night I saw it in a walk in theater. I was never scared again and love Zombie movies. Thank you everyone that participated in Dawn of the dead . Awesome Zombie movie!!!

I've been watching Dawn since it came out when I was a tyke. I had Dawn and Alien on a permanent loop my whole youth. You know what? I turned out fairly normal!

All time classic film. I watch it every year around Halloween time.

Saw this on VHS when I was 15 was home alone for the weekend. This movie scared the shit out of me. I loved every second of it.

Goblin’s soundtrack is just phenomenal

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen this movie. After seeing this I want to watch it again . 🍿

I'm finally going to the Monroeville Mall next week during a business trip!

George Romero and Tom Savini are the dynamic duo of zombie films

I just love the two S.W.A.T guys' as with their tactical training they become a seamless team. Against slow moving zombies they almost seem to enjoy blazing a path through them without breaking sweat. Romero also made a statement with zombies in the mall-go to one today and it isn't hard to imagine consumers as exactly that.

They had so much fun making this, and George Romero was such a friendly guy, must have had been blast working with him, even with freezing cold and for very little money

Back when i was younger, this was the first zombie movie i have ever seen. It will always be my favorite.

Romero was a true legend and his work speaks for itself! RIP!

I first saw Dawn Of The Dead in my late teens and to this day I think it's a masterclass in how to make a zombie film.It's absouluely brilliant.

One of the best films ever made. The sheer passion, scale and creativity is nothing short of astounding.

The scenes at the Housing Project near the beginning are so intense. I first saw it on a Pirate copy V.H.S...aged 12 or 13. It really was shocking then, there'd been nothing like it before. Later I saw "Night of the Living Dead" and figured that "Dawn...." had followed on into graphic Colour from there. "The Crazies" and in particular "Martin" were also interesting and innovative. Thanks George. R.I.P Man. 📽🧟‍♂️🎭👌

I furst seen this fantastic film when I was 9 or 10 and loved zombies ever since. Number. 1 of my. Faverit films.

"Fast Zombies Suck." - George A. Romero

The times, the feeling, the air of that era made everything perfect, there will NEVER be another zombie movie like "Dawn of the dead" i maybe old now, but glad I was young back then

I love that Gaylen Ross fought for her right to not scream and cry--and in part I think it's more real. The event of the end of civilization is so very large that perhaps we wouldn't scream. Perhaps we would just be dumbstruck, our intellect trying to grasp what was happening and how it could all come to pass. The enormity of it could render anyone voiceless.

A dollar and a donut to be a zombie in a “late” Romero zombie film?? I’m in! Lol

I keep coming back to these making of’s for Dawn and Day! Much love everyone, rest well George. Much love to the estate and family.

I was 8 when I watched this it scared the shit out of me ! I have watched this film hundreds of times and it still hits me with a scare today 👍

I will never forget the first time seeing this in '78. I got a hotdog with ketchup and was walking to my seat at the time of the head shot by Willy. To this day, I won't take ketchup on a dog. Thank you Tom Savini and thank you Mr. Romero for the hundreds of times I have seen it since.

I was 7 or 8 and had already seen Night when I rented Dawn at my local library. My little brother and I got to watch the opening scene up until the headshot when my mom came in and abruptly turned it off. We waited a few weeks and checked it out again two kids tapes bookending a movie we just HAD TO SEE! Luckily we pulled it off this time and it became one of our favorite movies to this day. It’d be one of the first tapes that I would own as a 17 year old when I got the keys to the proverbial candy store and was free to buy my own flicks. I still own that double vhs and it’s a base for my dvd and Blu-ray releases to sit atop on my shelves dedicated to my favorite directors. R.I.P. George A. Romero one of the most influential filmmakers of all time

There will never be a movie franchise that could compare to the living dead movies. 29 years old and have been watching horror movies since i was two "according to my grandpa". Zombie movies have always been my go to. Rip to George, truly an icon and master of horror

30:55 - I've a very seasoned horror fan, I've probably seen 300-500 films in the genre, many of them very gory, and that screwdriver to the brain shot makes me squirm every time. One of my favourite zombie kills of the film... of all time, really.

When the elevator opens and zombie Flyboy is revealed-what a scene!! So many iconic moments.

"i don't think it's a scary movie. it's a comic book. it's a romp." i think this is why, over the years, i've grown more and more to like day as my favorite over dawn. dawn is an amazing movie. one i'll watch multiple times a year for the rest of my life but...day of the dead is a straight serious scary movie.

What a phenomenal background behind the greatest zombie, imo Romero film, of all time.

one of the best movies ever, watching this makes me wish i was around back then to be an extra.

Wonderful documentary! Thank you for posting this.

What an amazing documentary. Thanks for uploading.

One of the greatest movies soundtrack effects of all time

Thanks for posting this; never had an opportunity to see it before. Much appreciated.

The ending credit music is still so defining of this movie. Every time I hear that music while out somewhere or doing something not related at all to this movie ... I immediately think of a mall ... in Pittsburg ... full of zombies ...

so many actors in these movies have "well i went up to george and said "hey why don't we try this?" and he told me to go for it and that's what you see in the movie!" stories. i understand directors wanting control and to get "their vision" out there but this way of thinking makes for good movies and moments. like the bub listens to music scene in day of the dead. that wasn't a george romero idea but it's such a memorable scene.

Just found this. Thank you for sharing it!!!

17:50 George Romero was an absolute legend. Rest in peace.

One of the greatest zombie movies no cgi romero the man love his work

Night and Dawn are two of the best American films ever made. 🇺🇸

some great lessons here: kindness, empathy, and community get the job done. social capital can accomplish far more than money alone.

What a great movie. The original cut is on youtube free to watch and runs over 2.5 hours. I watched it twice in the last year. So good.

Omg I just found this...my life is complete. Roger still sounds the same hahaha

Thank you George thank you. Your movies have been a part of my life since I was a boy back in the 80’s🤍🤘🏻

Tom Savini's finest hour

One of my all time favorite zombie movies. RIP George 🙏 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

"they are still here" "they are still in the wrong aspect ratio!" "there is no more room in hell"

It good to see many of the actors and staff turning up in this documentary, including the Zombie actors too. Also Gaylen Ross and Ken Foree hasn't aged at all

Great documentary thanks for posting. My favorite zombie movie. It's a masterpiece thanks George RIP

Dawn of the dead 2004 was definitely a good remake & did this movie justice! All the living dead movies are good imo

Beautiful film. Thank you for making it George. Lovely guy. RIP

Dawn will never be surpassed as being the ultimate zombie movie it’s just that perfect. The fact that there’s three versions,the length of the extended cut makes it an epic experience. Dawn just keeps getting better and better with every year that passes and it’s absolutely incredible to look back and know that it didn’t get the respect it so obviously deserved when it was first released.

This is a very good documentary. Tx for posting.

Dawn of the Dead is the best zombie flick of all time and I wish Hollywood would have left that genre alone because they have completely ruined it. I saw DOTD in the theater back when it first came out and had no idea what to expect... I remember throwing my popcorn on the floor after the first gross out scene (head exploding) but it certainly was entertaining

Dawn of the dead and fantasy were out at the same time we went to 2 different movie places and saw them the same night!!!!!!!! Ahhhhh the good old days!!!!!!!!!

Francine Parker: Spam Roger: You bring a can opener? Francine Parker: No, I guess I didn't Roger: Then don't knock it, it's got it's own key. Greatest horror movie of all time

It is amazing that the appearance of Gaylen Ross and Scott Reiniger have not really changed that much since 1978. I can still instantly recognize them when they show up on the tube. One of the most impressive thing in that movie is the evolution of the Fran(Gaylen). First she was timid and unable to defend herself and her buddy; paralyzed by fear and could not offer any helping hands to Steven when he was wrestled by the dead in front of her. But later on, she volunteered to cover the Roger and Peter from the rooftop while they were moving trucks to block mall's doorway. And she picked off a few of the zombies even though her covering fire could not save Roger in a critical moment.

they should have never rejected his resident evil script

My favorite of all of Romero's canon, and zombie movies in general.

I'm grew up more of a hard science fiction reader than a horror film person, but the ideas in Dawn of the Dead (I quickly found the original 1968 Night and found the same depth of ideas) not only led me to enjoy the Romero trilogy, but to finally realize what kind of horror films I wanted to see. Then I happily discovered that there are plenty of brainy ones out there. So in this docu when Romero says he was happy to attract people who dig the satire more than the gore, he's talking about me. I'm sure I've seen Dawn more than 50 times since. Now of course I watch it just because I want to see it again, but the ideas and the effects still pack a punch. I later worked in horror/science fiction theater and have had as much of a blast doing that (in a small, community theater setting) as I the cast and crew of Dawn seem to have. I've even had my head blown off onstage, twice as a robot, with effects I designed and helped build. (Of course we are talking water balloons with fake blood and fishing line level effects).

This is excellent. Thanks for Posting. Any fan of George Romero will enjoy and appreciate.

This is like finding gold for me. We watched this on our 'Betamax' player if memory serves then came the 'video nasty' stage here in the UK and it was banned but I had...ahem never returned a copy too the video shop. Still my favourite horror movie ever (watched it just last week surprisingly) thanks for this awesome upload.

I have lived in the area of Pittsburgh my whole life and have lived in this environment of being part of "the city of the dead". Its still amazing going to all these places to this day.

Everything about this movie is perfect, the soundtrack by goblin is just the cherry on top.

fantastic i still watch it

This is hands down the best zombie film, the look, feel, ambience, characters everything just works.

Saw this in a drive in. I was 8 yes old. I was in shock my folks would pick a movie to see and we got this one. We stayed for the whole thing. I got it later and still watch it now and then

A true masterpiece, i just keep wishing i was around during the filming, Romero is legendary!

Remember going to see this when it came out, scared the hell out of me , great film

GR: "I didn't want to get typecast" - that worked out well!! RIP George.....great, innovative film maker....

The first time I saw this film, I got several nightmares. It was well worth it cause i considered them as sequels to this great zombie film.

Awesome Doc!

I remember this movie i couldn't sleep for days I was 12 year's old back then my father too me to see it on 42 street the deuce manhattan 1978 can't believe it has been 42 years ago when it came out

Still one of my all time favorite films!!!

Quentin Tarantino once said the A in George A.Romero stood for "A Fucking Genius" i couldnt agree more Rip George A. Romero

Dawn of the Dead is one of favorite horror movies of all time. R.I.P. George Romero 1940-2017

I could listen to Tom Savini talk about his work all day everyday. He is so passionate about his work, loves what he does and that shows in every scene he is involved in. This man was a true pioneer and paved the way for the best EFX wizards we have enjoyed for years like, Baker, Nicotero, Bottin, Winston and the list goes on.

Night of the Living Dead (1968) created the genre. Dawn of the Dead (1978) defined the genre. Day of the Dead (1985) took the make-up and special effects to a whole new level. there are only a select handful of other zombie movies that will be remembered as fondly as these 3.

I saw dawn Of The Dead in 1980 on 42nd Street in NY, I was 14 years old I was tagging along with 3 of my older cousins who were really street savy and I wanted so bad to be like them so they said "Ok man you think your tough? We gonna take you with us to hang out" so we went to the movies and I was scared to death for the whole film and when the part came when they tore open the guys chest I pissed my pants LOL! My cousins still joke about it today! For me Dawn Of The Dead was my intro to many other great Horror Movie's I would see but Dawn Of The Dead helped me to be prepared for what ever happens and I never was really scared seeing Horror Movies again. Thank you George Romero for making an awesome cult classic that sent hot piss all over my pants LOL your the best man!

Dawn of the Dead is the Masterpiece of the Zombie Apocalypse films.

Night, Dawn and Day of the Dead will always be the best movies cause it's like they all compliment one another.

i once did a project on George Romero's life. They said to do a paper on your hero and I said George Romero. I got an A on it
