R.I.P David Emge aka FLYBOY. Thank you for being a part of this great film. You are forever missed

[@DrAnGeber]

Actually, one of the most "eerie" scenes from this is when Stephen, now a Zombie remembers where his former friends are hiding and instantly turns around and starts heading towards the hidden stairway. Great Movie

[@thegingerbreadman5149]

I’m watching it with a friend and this sounds awesome.

[@Seruphin]

I think it's more the routine that he goes to the hiding spot, like how they say the zombies keep returning to the mall because thats what they always did.

[@marloneberhart8753]

Yeah I even like how he points in that direction as to tell the zombies to go this way

[@delljr2769]

Watching the group die and come back was eerie period, especially when the elevator door opened and Steve comes staggering out fully turned zombie. That make-up was ahead of it's time horror/gore wise. Back then it seems like the 1970s-1980s movies did way more with way less.

I don't think he was leading the zombies. He was running away.

[@newclothes8165]

@@thefaustiananointed6166 It took some years and even then it was by default because I think I was hanging with some friends. i think we were 13. i was 6 when this movie originally came out. It came on and someone said "lets watch it." I couldn't look like a punk and say no so I went along. Of course, it wasn't scary. One friend said the zombies looked like smurfs.

Classics like this literally mention it is a political film in the trailer voice over, yet Ive still seen people accusing Jordan Peele and other modern directors of being sjws and forcing politics into horror (and sci fi and fantasy) and saying stupid shit like 'horror has never been political'.

[@Valkonnen]

@@youwayo The fact that Duane Jones was cast in NOTLD because he was the best actor that he knew, and not because he happened to be Black is a testament to his intent, which was simply to make the best films that he can.

[@eq1373]

The problem with Jordan Peele is that his movies are SOAKED with politics and identity politics that come first and the horror comes a very distant second. Romero's POV was understandable even if you disagreed with it. And this one wasn't a overtly political film, it's message about consumerism and the need of some people to have EVERYTHING, not capitalism overall.
