I was one of the few who was able to watch this when it hit the theaters. I was in high school, and a friend and I cut class to go to the movies. I remember seeing the movie poster and saying, "hey let's check this out" the girl at the booth let us in for free as there was only two other people in the theater besides my friend and me. I sat down with my cold pop and box of warm popcorn, and after the movie, I sat there with a warm soda and cold box of popcorn. changed my life forever. best movie
Patrick Wheeler man your incredibly lucky to have experienced this film during its release, and not just this film. The rest of Romero’s films as well. I was born in 2000. long after Night, Dawn, and Day. But I grew up watching them. I’ll always cherish them and love them and will always be grateful to Romero for creating such incredible films, hell he created a genre. I remember when I was finding out about these films as a little kid and I would always watch this trailer over and over. Dawn was always my favorite dead film. Definitely my favorite zombie film of all time and I consider it the best
This movie quite literally gives me chills even as a movie from 1978 the aura and chills serve to magnify the horror alongside the quirks like " we have spawned our own savagery now it will consume us all" this will always be one of the greatest horror movies of all time may george Romero be at peace for there will be no one who can make a zombie movie like he can
The narrator in this trailer is so damn profound and solemn, along with the music it adds to the apocalyptic, end-times vibe of the first three films. It's kind of funny though that they'd spoil Roger getting bitten and reanimated in this though.
Back 6 years ago I was going out with this girl and she liked the 04 remake. I told her the I love the original version and it's way better. One day, she rents it because Blockbuster was on life support, and I'm like fuck yeah, we got this by the ass. We watch it and she said she likes it but it was bit too slow. Needless to say, we were two very different people.
Just watched the full director's cut of this the other day, and it still has the same impact on me. The nightmarish quality to the film that provokes the thought of what it would be like if something like this really happened.
Zach Snyder's version is certainly watchable, but the George A. Romero original has an infectious energy and originality that only the very best horror films have. (We may not think it's so original nowadays because it virtually created all the cliches of today's zombie stories.) Also, Romero's characters feel real (to me, anyway) in a way that I don't often sense in more recent horror films. Add inspired direction and a great soundtrack, and you have a masterpiece, equal to and yet very different from its predecessor. This is one of the greats....
I didn't like Snyder's version, it had nothing of the charm of this version. The characters I thought were dull as dishwater and I didn't care about any of them. While zombies running makes them more scary, it just didn't work as well as the shambling messes that they're supposed to be.
rockys201 As I said, Snyder's version is watchable...but, I agree, the characters aren't interesting. The actors are good, but the roles they play are underwritten and the size of the cast is a problem. I'm sure it provides a high body count for those who expect quite a bit of gore, but, in the end, I didn't care about anyone in that particular film. In the Romero version, we slowly get to know Peter, Roger, Steven and Fran, and that made me care that much more about what happened in the end. On a side note, Romero's use of a shopping mall as a critique of a decadent consumer society was inspired, and even revolutionary. In the remake, the mall is simply a setting, with no extra resonance to it. Snyder's version is fair...but for greatness, you need to the original....
Matthew Richardson The original DOTD is probably my favorite horror film ever, it just exudes charm and fun. The characters were actually memorable and you cared about all of them. When Roger and Steven die you feel a sense of sadness and loss, in the remake because there's too many characters you don't care nearly as much, also none of them had any substance. I'm sure the remake is highly watchable for some but I just didn't like it, I bought it one day and took it back the next because I knew I wouldn't watch it again.
Snyder’s version had too many damn characters haha. George kept it simple, 4 characters. We follow each of them before they get together. Plus Roger and Peter are one of the best duos of all time in my opinion. So fun to watch them work off each other
Happy 40th Anniversary to best zombies flick of all time. George A. Romero will always lived on within the dead zombies he direct. And still remains my favorite zombie flick yet. Great trailer.
I was born in '85 and I watched this in the late '80s when I was about 4 or 5 years old, watched it with family and it was my first real fear experience like on the couch in a room full of people and Im under the blanket ever other scene. I could barely watch, kept looking away and was still scared. I miss these old trailers too it sounds real, new movies aint got shit on the 70s and 80s stuff.
Born 82 and saw it on video with my 16 and 12 year old brothers at six with exorcist and both shocked me Then saw it again at 12 and been one of my favorites
Did they not do wonderful trailers back then. The narrator does a marvelous job-he nails it. And whomever wrote it was also at the top of his game! Hell, these guys probably could have made the Ghostbusters remake trailer a success ... oops, got carried away there: my bad.
It has an ominous feel to it; the narrator is excellent and is complemented brilliantly by the eerie music. Much like the film, the trailer has a nightmarish quality to it, and to this day Dawn of the Dead remains my all-time favourite zombie film. A genuine classic which never fails to instill a sense of dread in me, whenever I watch it.
Coldheart9009 Can you believe that when I saw this film in a crowded theater in rural Massachusetts when it first came out that it was rated X and that nearly every member of the standing-room-only audience laughed their butts off for the duration of the movie? Sure a huge percentage were drunk and or high but even through the audio deluge I felt exactly as you described in your response. That's how great a movie it is.
yeah bro that's The problema with The movies today, They show The best parts in The movie so no surprise, back then the trailers were Long but The Show some scenes and they make like The Best parts... that's clever.
*"Did they not do wonderful trailers back then."* I remember seeing the TV spot when I was a little kid and I was always scared just by the way the voiceover guy said, "In 1968...". haha, so good.
"It is a horrible and hauntingly accurate vision of the mindless excesses of a society gone mad." Man, he knew what he was talking about. And that was back in 1978.
The Tragic death of the Zombie Master George Romero brought me here! The creator of the Three Best Zombie Flicks, "Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead, RIP George Romero, You will be dearly missed!!!
Thanx for posting this!I was only 3 when this came out,so obviously my parents didn't take me to see it.Yay for VHS back then though,because my older brother snuck it into our house so we could watch it when I was around 8.Even though I was scared shitless,I loved it and became a huge horror movie fan instantly:)Horror movies from the 70's and 80's were the absolute best,and a lot of us that grew up at that time were incredibly lucky to have experienced watching these back in the day.
I like both the 1978 original and the 2004 remake (which was loyal to the original Dawn of the Dead). I also found the 2004 parody "Shaun of the Dead" to be very well made and funny.
Saint318 no it wasn't at all. it's trash. and idc if it was first of it's time B's. it's fkin terrible. I could make a simulation movie in my backyard. the script ain't good either. worst part about the 2004 remake.
DON'T LISTEN TO HIM IT'S YOUR OPINION I PREFER THE 2004 REMAKE ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED SAINT318 ? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU YOU SEEM PRETTY COOL
I saw the trailer for this in the theater when I was a kid. The trailer alone scared me so much I remember shaking. I saw the first Halloween in the theater and the evil dead too but just this trailer alone scared me more than those other full length films did. I also saw Alien in the theater...and The Thing...oh I also saw The Shining's theatrical release. I remember me an my dad mom and sister were on a roadtrip and decided to see it spur of the moment. Afterwords it was late and we decided to stay at a motel. I remember at the hotel we were all akwardly quiet and just went to bed. I think it was because it freaked my parents out lol
DAWN of the DEAD (imo) is: -The Best Film of All Time (hands-down for me) -The Best Zombie Film of All Time -The Best 4-Character Structure of All Time -The Best Setting of All Time (old school Mall... "One of those big indoor Malls") -The Best Soundtrack of All Time (Goblin) -The Best Atmosphere of All Time -The Best TRAILER of All Times if you go to my channel I have a video from 2010 from a Horror Convention I went to where I ask George A. Romero a question at a Q&A. Before meeting him in 2010 I met Ken Foree (Peter) and Tom Savini (Effects/Makeup/Blades Character) in 2008 at the same Convention (Rock and Shock in Worcester, MA). I have also met Clayton Hill (Sweater Zombie) and his Wife Sharron (or whoever that Nurse Zombie is). Clayton Hill was also Weapons Coordinator, they are married and would heard the zombies on and off set haha. Also met "Bub" from Day of the Dead (Howard Sherman) and others.... including GOBLIN the group who composed the score (literally saw them on Tour in Boston the day before Halloween a few nights ago). In other words..... I have been obbsessed with DAWN of the DEAD ever since renting it on VHS in the 90's and watching with my friends LATE one night. We kept rewinding the part where Willie kicks in Apartment door and shoots the Zombie in the head with a shotgun and the Zombie's head EXPLODES like a watermelon (we watched that for 20 min straight and laughing).... by the time i finished the movie. I was in love, and it stuck with me forever. DAWN of the DEAD is literally my favorite film of all time, even with it's many goofs. That means I like it better than my other favorite films. I like it better than HEAT, Goodfellas, Casino, The Godfather (and Part II), Alien, Aliens, 2001, The Shining, Psycho, North by Northwest, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, The Dark Knight, every Avengers film, LOGAN, Blade Runner (even loved 2049 and saw it 4x in theaters).... yes, I love DAWN of the DEAD more than all of those movies. DAY of the DEAD may have the best Zombie effects of all time (thanks Tom Savini), but Tom's effects in DAWN of the DEAD weren't quite as good as Tom originally intended (he wanted grey Zombies not blue-ish)... however the BLUE zombies add to that 70's charm. The colorful clothing, the BRIGHT RED BLOOD in contrast with the Blue-ish cold looking Zombies is ICONIC imo. I love the zombies here. Plus you got 4 character you actually ROOT FOR, the best setting (a MALL), the best soundtrack, the RAIDERS motorcycle gang which up the ante.... THE GONK. This movie has it all. I would give it a 10/10 (goofs and flaws included). MASTERPIECE, easily my favorite film of all time.
Watched this as a kid with family in the early 80s when movie rentals became popular. Was so scary at the time and still one of my favorite zombie films.
I remember watching this trailer when I was five and having nightmares. Even today, it still kinda creeps me out. BTW best zombie film ever made! "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD HAS ENDED... DAWN OF THE DEAD IS HERE!" Classic!
Happy 45th to a classic ! Saw it on video 35 years ago at six with my big brothers and shocked me then saw it again at 12 and been one of my favorites. Own it on the second sight uk import 4k set
I was thinking.... this movie absolutely terrified me when I was 12. Eight years earlier, in my neighbourhood in Rome, Dario Argento had invited Romero to write it. Argento lived ten blocks away form me. So it is very possible that going out with my father, at four, I had seen Romero in cafe discussing with Argento about the film that would scare me the most in my childhood.
I believe the voice over actor plays a major role in these. For this one...Adolph Cesar. He was an actor also and did trailers for other niche videos. Super cool voice!
I saw this when I was about 11, my mom took me and my older brothers to see it in the theater, and afterwards I and my mom and brothers, all became HUGE zombie movie fans! I just wish my mom had lived long enough to have watch the series The Walking Dead, me and her talked a lot about how great it would be if they would do a zombie tv show, but she never got to see it happen! Though what we had in mind wasn't really what came to be, ours would have been with a main cast, and the ones getting killed every week, would be background characters, it would have more to do with a community or communities trying to survive, with more dramatic moments, not just senseless violence, like with TWD and it's spawns! It would have been more like George A.Romero, where you actually would have a bit more character development, and NOT just so they can get you to like the character and root for them, only to have the writers kill them off, even if it didn't help the story along, but just to shock everyone, each season! I always wanted a zombie tv show with more hope, though Z Nation did come pretty close itself, but it was too tung and cheek, humorous, mine would be more dramatic, but with some fun moments too!
The best apocalyptic film ever made of the Z pandemic... i haven't seen this movie in 4 decades, but suddenly it's the music started to haunt me out of no where!! Boy what a trip in memory lane... It took me back home... For home is time
We have spawned our own savagery. Soon it will consume us all. It is a horrible, hauntingly accurate vision of the mindless excesses of a society gone mad
Love Nostalgia Horror movies because the filmmakers understanding of what terror coming straight at you. Even better than the Twilight crap today. "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD HAS ENDED... DAWN OF THE DEAD IS HERE!" CLASSIC AND CAN'T WAIT FOR HALLOWEEN THIS YEAR!
I was one of the few who was able to watch this when it hit the theaters. I was in high school, and a friend and I cut class to go to the movies. I remember seeing the movie poster and saying, "hey let's check this out" the girl at the booth let us in for free as there was only two other people in the theater besides my friend and me. I sat down with my cold pop and box of warm popcorn, and after the movie, I sat there with a warm soda and cold box of popcorn. changed my life forever. best movie

Hahaha warm pop and cold popcorn, I love it. You know the movie is good when you’re too focused to eat your movie snacks.
Patrick Wheeler that elevator scene where the living dead attack poor Steven still freaks me out.
Don't know how because I had it booked vip for me the wife and my 2 sons so I had the full theatre to ourselves
"When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth." RIP George Romero

I've actually had the grand pleasure of meeting both George Romero and Tom Savini! I'll cherish both moments for the rest of my life :)

Rest in peace, George. The genre you created will go on forever, no headshot can take it down.
I don't really care much for horror films anymore but DAMN this one was awesome!
The narrator in this trailer is so damn profound and solemn, along with the music it adds to the apocalyptic, end-times vibe of the first three films. It's kind of funny though that they'd spoil Roger getting bitten and reanimated in this though.
I would like to go on record & say that David Emge’s unique strut remains the best zombie walk of all time.

DAWN of the DEAD (imo) is:

-The Best Zombie Film of All Time
-The Best 4-Character Structure of All Time
-The Best Setting of All Time (old school Mall... "One of those big indoor Malls")
-The Best Soundtrack of All Time (Goblin)

if you go to my channel I have a video from 2010 from a Horror Convention I went to where I ask George A. Romero a question at a Q&A. Before meeting him in 2010 I met Ken Foree (Peter) and Tom Savini (Effects/Makeup/Blades Character) in 2008 at the same Convention (Rock and Shock in Worcester, MA).
I have also met Clayton Hill (Sweater Zombie) and his Wife Sharron (or whoever that Nurse Zombie is).

This movie is on my top 10 favorite horror films. r.i.p George Romero
In my opinion, the best Zombie movie ever made.
The greatest masterpiece ever made
great trailer brings me back to a simple time in my life I remember watching this movie with my dad when I was like 13 on a sunny afternoon
Happy 45th to a classic
!
Saw it on video 35 years ago at six with my big brothers and shocked me then saw it again at 12 and been one of my favorites.
Own it on the second sight uk import 4k set
At 1:35 some kind of instinct, memory of what they used to do, this was important Place in their lives
I was thinking.... this movie absolutely terrified me when I was 12. Eight years earlier, in my neighbourhood in Rome, Dario Argento had invited Romero to write it. Argento lived ten blocks away form me. So it is very possible that going out with my father, at four, I had seen Romero in cafe discussing with Argento about the film that would scare me the most in my childhood.
"When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth"

Memory, instinct, this was an important place in their lives
I expected cheap schlock but I fell in love with it ! What a movie, it stays with you 🤯
Yes, it certainly is one of the creepier zombie movies out there. Classic horror at its finest!
These 70s horror movies are way scarier than today’s ones
The best fucking horror movie ever made!
The greatest masterpiece ever made
I believe the voice over actor plays a major role in these. For this one...Adolph Cesar. He was an actor also and did trailers for other niche videos. Super cool voice!
He did other trailers did you know that?
Night of the Living Dead has ended, Dawn of the Dead is here
DAMN good Horror movie! One of my ALL TIME favorites!
The original Dawn Of The Dead is my all time favourite film I love every second of it
I saw this when I was about 11, my mom took me and my older brothers to see it in the theater, and afterwards I and my mom and brothers, all became HUGE zombie movie fans! I just wish my mom had lived long enough to have watch the series The Walking Dead, me and her talked a lot about how great it would be if they would do a zombie tv show, but she never got to see it happen!
Though what we had in mind wasn't really what came to be, ours would have been with a main cast, and the ones getting killed every week, would be background characters, it would have more to do with a community or communities trying to survive, with more dramatic moments, not just senseless violence, like with TWD and it's spawns!
It would have been more like George A.Romero, where you actually would have a bit more character development, and NOT just so they can get you to like the character and root for them, only to have the writers kill them off, even if it didn't help the story along, but just to shock everyone, each season!
I always wanted a zombie tv show with more hope, though Z Nation did come pretty close itself, but it was too tung and cheek, humorous, mine would be more dramatic, but with some fun moments too!
R.I.P. Romero
I saw this on VHS in 2003. Rented from Blockbuster. I was blown away by it...
0:25 *Murdoc laugh intensifies*
Just change the name of the city for Raccoon City, and we will have the Perfect Resident Evil movie.
Every time i enter a mall i think about this movie. Classic
The best apocalyptic film ever made of the Z pandemic... i haven't seen this movie in 4 decades, but suddenly it's the music started to haunt me out of no where!! Boy what a trip in memory lane... It took me back home... For home is time
Thanks for this post
The greatest masterpiece ever made
No, nothing can touch the Original.
Agreed the original Dawn Of The Dead is my all time favourite film
So the guy that talks about no more room in hell, dead walk the earth in the remake was in the first film. Thats pretty cool.
They must be destroyed on SIGHT!!!
George Romero himself can be seen in a cameo role, on the left at 0:35. His wife Christine also appears as a cameo in the movie.
Good-bye, George Romero.
Thanks for the great films
Who's here because of the Coronavirus.
We have spawned our own savagery. Soon it will consume us all.
It is a horrible, hauntingly accurate vision of the mindless excesses of a society gone mad
