The Day of The Dead for me is the best zombie film of all time. It was a dark , realistic style film the apocalyptic setting made you feel like it could actually happen. and it genuinely scares you and no other film or tv show has ever made scared of zombies like this film did. The score also contributed to the edge this film has over all of them.

[@FrankNFurter1000]

I wouldn't say ripped off; after all, Greg Nicotero is working on the show and he originally worked on 'Day' - so I think it definitely is inspired by many themes and images from the Romero's Zombie trilogy. I think they could include a little more of a darker electronic score sometimes ;).

Carpenter is also a wonderful composer; I will have to view this scene again and listen. I suspect it would be similar to Carpenter's score to Escape From New York.

While Dawn of the Dead is my all time favorite film, I think Day is my personal favorite of the Romero Dead films. It's George's most pessimistic and it's also the most honest about human nature. Just like The Joker said in The Dark Night, when the chips are down people will eat each other. And I'm not talking about just the zombies either. That's not to say it doesn't have it's faults. Much like Land of the Dead it's the incomplete half of a whole. (That being the original version of Day of the Dead) It's just amazing George could come up with such bracing stuff when his back was to the wall after the original version got the ax.

It was to be a much bigger film, much wider in scope, but he had to settle for a much lower budget than he would have needed.

Excellent horror film.My late sister and I used to watch this on a friday night with a few beers.Also jsppy memories of Reanimator,Dolls,Return of the living dead and Living Dead At Manchester morgue,etc.

[@STILuVa]

All good movies. I'd throw in the 90s remake of night of the living dead which in my opinion is better than the black and white version. Dolls was a good creepy movie I remember renting it as a kid with my dad. We always loved the puppet master movies for the same reason. Hp lovecraft's the resurrected is a great movie we like too. Directed by the same guy that directed return of the living dead 1.

Alan, just letting you know that I'm giving you a bunch of view time on this video because I listen to it at least everyday while I work! Thanks for the upload! Long live George Romero's Day of the Dead and John Harrison's beautiful score!

Been watching this movie since I was a kid and the music stuck to me. That synthesizer, man o man.

I enjoy this film more than Dawn of the Dead. Way darker.

No other zombie film has got close to the perception that it really is the end of the world - pure genius and what an opening scene !

I bought the not-so-great CD version released 10 years, but this blows it out of the water! Thanks for sharing this!

I rented this movie 21 years ago at Hollywood Video. 15 years old & affected me tremendously because of the realistic gore, language & vulgarity. Much like the movie Platoon did. My favorite Romero film ever! Now listening to the soundtrack, chilling on a paradise beach much like in the ending!

[@STILuVa]

I remember Hollywood video!!! I would usually get taken to blockbuster as a kid and go straight for the horror movie section. I remember the cover of day of the dead,it always freaked me out a bit!! Childs play cover too

I remember watching this as back in the 90,s when I was 14. The music alone freaked me out

I've seen alot of horror movies on television when I was a child, but I can't believe they never showed Day of the Dead in my zone (the Californian desert). I didn't see Day of the Dead until 2013! I really like the movie and the soundtrack! When I first watched it I was thinking why didn't they let certain songs play longer (because the composition was so good). Thank you for posting the soundtrack for the public. I appreciate it!**************

I don't know exactly why but I always felt that of all Romero's other installations, Day of the Dead was the most tragic. The closest guess I can make is that by this point in the story, everything just feels so unbearably hopeless. The main character is seemingly fighting for a lost cause (Warning: spoilers ahead) and as the film goes on, we just see that hopelessness slowly crushing her. If you nothing more than study her expression from one scene to the next, she looks so frustrated and tired. Like someone on the verge of giving up on everything. Even a she voices her reasons for carrying on her work, there's so little feeling or conviction in her voice. To be honest, Land of the Dead may not have been everyone's favorite but for me at least, it was a desperately needed bit of levity. By the end of Day of the Dead, there was the vague sense that those were the last people left in the whole world and all they were doing now was living out their last days in relative calm (not a bad thing but it doesn't give much hope of a "future" for humankind). That's one viewers take, anyway. Movies are art pieces with countless interpretations.
