George A. Romero's Living Dead Series

Night of the Living Dead 1968 is the best, & the original Romero, it should be watched first, & its available free on youtube & everywhere else. Dawn of the Dead is absolutely one of the best sequels i think were ever going to get to a zombie movie.

Nothing beats the original. I remember I had nightmares after my first viewing. It was kinda like unsolved mysteries segment were it actually happened, but the cause of the dead rising was left a mystery.

Why not just watch all of them in order? Night Of The Living Dead, Dawn of The Dead, Day of The Dead, Land Of The Dead, Diary Of The Dead, and Survival Of The Dead.

I'd also check out the remakes of Night and Dawn, they're pretty good. I'd also watch the original Return Of The Living Dead. It's a spin-off, not a sequel (although it works as one to Night if you pretend to watch it as such), but it's excellent and my personal favorite zombie film of all time and a lot of other people's.

For years, 'Night of the Living Dead' has been my very favorite horror film.

I don't think so... I always saw Diary as a complete re-start of the series as it clearly takes place in modern times while NOTLD clearly took place in the sixties (which makes sense, since it was filmed in the 60's.) I don't remember the newscaster from the first film being heard anywhere, although it's admittedly been years since I've seen the film. 

Dawn of the Dead is my favorite. It did what the original did (gore, zombies, trapped in one location, social commentary) and bumped it up.

Definitely for me is Night of the Living Dead 1968
which was the one I voted for here
( just can't go wrong with the original ) .

It is after all the film that started this all up
that lead to these other awesome sequels & remakes too - IMPO .

Actor Duane Jones as Ben was just excellent in this also .

Also a creepy fun & memorable popcorn flick to watch anytime as well . 

  


Thanks so much MooseNugget for your subject post .

That's an excellent one also coldenhaulfield
that film was Dawn of the Dead 2004
and my second favorite of mine too
( next to of course the original " Night of the Living Dead " from 1968 ) .

I also like the movie poster for this one
on Wikipedia - mysteriously creepy  .

Surprisingly I actually have never seen
this original version of
Dawn of the Dead 1978  .
How I missed out on that one I will never know   .

I have only seen the 2004 version
and that's the one I thought you meant
when you mentioned " the one in the mall " here .

Well there's no need to be sorry coldenhaulfield - no harm done here either .

Also either way whether these films are
" Romero-made or based on " 
all these movie sequels and remakes
( especially the ones I haven't seen - yet )
I know will be all good - IMPO .
