Literally timeless. There's no other horror movie with the social depth of it. Brilliant from beginning to end.

I believe the sequel, Dawn of the Dead, was filmed at Monroeville Mall

I've never seen it.

Better than Halloween?

without question. a terrifying film with deep social undertones (though I have read interviews with Romero that they were not deliberately putting so much subtext in the film)

I think Halloween and The Shining were the best horror films ever made. I'll watch it tonight.

semi spoiler, but kind of an interesting observation . . .

my g/f and I were discussing the backlash to the female Dr Who casting . . . and I mentioned how "Walking Dead" could show zombie gore, cannibalism, and child murder, but 2 men kissing was the "line" some people felt went too far.

good time to remind people that in a film filled with flesh eating terror, the production team had a hard time booking the film in the South because, in 1968, a scene where a black man slaps a hysterical white woman was still viewed as too controversial.
