Originally released in July, 1985, the film remains a classic Zombie favorite today because of it’s breakthrough special effects, makeup, overall gore quotient, creepy bunker location (they were shooting underground for 4 months!) and the signature George A. Romero chilling use of “dread” throughout the film. DAY OF THE DEAD is still known as “the darkest day in horror”.
This TriBook will give you insights into the how and why behind directorial and cast choices, the motivation behind condensing the original story, and the blood beneath Tom Savini’s madness.
