George Romero.. gave me my first Zombie fix when I was 7/1/2 pregnant in 1968... Everyone in the families thought I'd " MARK " the baby... My only child , a wonderful Son , was remarkably perfect... And still is a blessing !
@@ronwillmot464 I'm in the UK and I wish we had those big drive in cinemas like over there in the USA! Don't know why we have never had them - maybe cos it rains almost every day?!! We would have to watch them through our windscreen wipers lol
My favorite is day of..of the 1st 3. But the last 2, Diary of and Survival of are Freakin' Old School real Romero too. Wish he had had time enough for a couple more. Do you know if there are any other novelizations of his movies?
Yes agreed!!!! The remake was pretty good too tho.....my fav part is when the group was caught in the stairwell and the door to the mall was locked cuz that one dbag left his post.....and the zombies stopped about 8 steps below and were just staring at them then they charged...... Lucky molly opened the door an the group was chased threw the mall.....such a classic rip romero.....
My first ever zombie movie was Return of the living dead. It had me instantly hooked on zombie movies. I was 5 years old. I'm now 41 and still love zombie movies today as much as I did 36 years ago. The modern day zombie movie wouldn't be what they are if it wasn't for George A Romero. No other zombie movies have come even close (as good as some are) to having that certain something that Romero put into his movies. They all stand head and shoulders above the rest.
First seen this movie aged 13 in a video shop 1981 with friends on a Saturday afternoon . we all thought it was incredible we just Couldn’t believe what we had just watched , the owners of that video shop were great & gave us great memories
I love the books far more than the movies, so much more details are given. I watched the movies countless times, but the books always are better to me. Ty!
The 1978 Dawn of the dead is an absolute masterpiece, best zombie apocalypse film ever. The remakes are tame would love to watch classics like this, predator etc in the cinemas today. Why don’t any cinemas here (UK) offer this!?
Having watched the movie untold number of times, I can quote it almost line by line. I agree, the books give much more detail. Indeed, I learned a few things that I never picked up from the movie.
Irony. I have been listening to almost every Zombies novel out there since before October. Found this one last week. It's the Best! If you know friends looking for a good zombies story who haven't seen Dawn of, definitely recommend this. But get the movie too!
Referring to your use of irony and in the words of lnigo Montoya.... l dont think the word means what you think it means. As for "the best by far" l completely disagree. world war z (audio book NOT the movie of same name) is remarkedly superior to any other zombie book. imho.
Jarrod C Yeah? Well I had it in the second grade. I also had a time machine so I went back to the first grade and gave it to myself, and first grade me went back in time and shoved that copy up my mom's cooch and that's why I read at a college level when I was still in utero. Beat that.
this is a great discovery!! thank you for posting! my opinion is the narration is just right. for those complaining i would have a stuttering half wit narrate this book just to have it.
I love Dawn, definitely gotta check this out. Thanks for the upload! P.S.: Jonathan Davis! I didn't remember the name but I DID remember the voice from the Star Wars: Darth Bane trilogy. This voice actor is pure class.
I’ve yet to see the original movie, I saw the 2004 remake, so I’m a bit confused as to why the first chapters are focused on escaping the city through a helicopter? When in the movie majority of the time is spent getting to and staying in a mall?
Love this Film. These 4 had the right idea in getting out the City and stumblrd across a Paradise for a while when the world was going to shit. Always made me think about prepping for a Zombie Apocalypse.lol
These were the good old days when zombies were dead slow n daft,,, now there's all these parkour ones doing triple axles and running about like linford Christie.....
Eh, if you look at the OG night, the ghouls are pretty quick. The first one ever, that chases Barbra is running. Running like a drunk but he's running after Barb.
Dawn of the dead was the 1st zombie movie l ever saw. Closely followed by night of the living dead. Gotta admit this audio book doesnt match the intensity nor the experience of the movie. The audio book of world war z is far better than the movie and light years ahead of this. wwz had me riveted from start to finish, this effort is meh in comparison. imho. Maybe l'll come back to finish listening to this when l've exhausted all of the other zombie audiobooks. I do, however, appreciate the efforts made here. Kudos for that.
Really enjoying the beginning so far, kinda amazed how good the Porto Ricans in the apartment are with their Mexican accents >.< cant say I've met many Porto Ricans named Miguel either lmao
The book has roger as this sad pathetic guy and peter is this stone cold bad ass its kinda weird both of these guys were pretty scared but determined just weird writting.
Best zombie movie all time, yes remake top 3 all-time.....they need to make another remake but stick to orignal script.... Just my humbel opinion.... But to amp up the terror of a zombie movie the zombies need to run and eating brains Lol
Was anyone else disappointed that it wasn't the dude from Korn lol? He'd have been sniffling, and babbling, and crying and shit... all throughout the book. Could have been brilliant!
As a VET and chopper mechanic, I gotta call so much BS. I realize that Romero was HOLLYWOOD, and thus incapable of any knowledge of the military/real world, but police a rule did not carry "automatics" in the 1970's. And did not call them "automatics", but by their nomenclature. And helos DO NOT use gasoline.
Their bones and muscle would eventually rot and no longer be able to produce energy. You could chill them to reduce the degenerative process, but that would most likely slow down their metabolism aswell. You could replace them with new Zeds, but then you'd run out of "workers" eventually too. If you were mad enough to infect people to produce this energy source, growing a child takes longer than it would take for the new zombie to rot to unusable state, that I'm pretty sure. I'm unsure if their could be a way to prevent decomposing bacteria and micro-organisms, once a subject has turned. If you could "sterilize" them, and then put them in a white -room, maybe that works? But would they even produce enough energy to keep the white room's ventilation working to keep their environment sterile.
I don’t trust anything anyone says. people who act like they have all the answers usually are the ones least trustworthy. This is just the battle of fittest.
