Season 7 Episode 18 - Dawn of the Dead (1978)
🎙️ The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow – Season 7, Episode 18: Dawn of the Dead (1978)

This week, we’re heading straight into the shopping mall apocalypse for one of the greatest horror sequels ever made — George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead!

After redefining horror with Night of the Living Dead, Romero returned in 1978 with a blood-soaked, satirical, and terrifying masterpiece that turned the zombie genre into a global phenomenon.

In this episode, Dangerous Dave breaks down:
🕰️ What Happened Way Back When (1978) – 5 fun facts about the biggest songs, movies, and TV shows from the year zombies invaded pop culture.
🧟‍♂️ The Dangerous Deep Dive – the full story behind Dawn of the Dead: the struggle to fund it, the practical effects that shocked audiences, a deep plot summary, and how the movie turned consumerism into a horror metaphor.
🎭 Cast & Characters – from Ken Foree’s heroic Peter to David Emge’s tragic Flyboy.
🩸 Fans & Critics – why it divided early reviewers but became one of the most respected horror films ever made.
🧠 Legacy & Future – how Dawn inspired everything from Shaun of the Dead to The Walking Dead and countless remakes.
⚔️ Retro Rumble – Dawn of the Dead vs. Day of the Dead: which one’s the true undead champion?
📺 Back in the Ads – the bizarre 70s commercials you might’ve seen before your VHS copy started rolling.
💀 Dangerously Underrated – Tom Savini’s incredible makeup and stunt work that took low-budget horror to new heights.
📼 One Season Wonder – a forgotten cult horror TV gem with 5 killer facts.
⚖️ Better Than / Worse Than – how Dawn of the Dead stacks up against its eerie predecessor Night of the Living Dead, leading perfectly into next week’s Halloween Special!

It’s gruesome, clever, and gloriously gory — the film that made malls terrifying and proved horror could have brains and guts.

Next week, we celebrate Halloween with Romero’s original nightmare that started it all — Night of the Living Dead 🧟‍♀️🔥

So grab your shopping cart, lock the doors, and remember: When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.
