In this first gruesome episode in our zombie movie series for Zombie Awareness Month (yes, it’s a real thing!) we’re looking at none other than George Romero’s 'Dead' series: Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978), and Day of the Dead (1985).
We'll dive into how each entry builds upon one another, highlighting and strengthening a stance and cultural commentary on important socio-political themes like race, media, war, government and the patriarchal family structure.
We’re taking a BIG zoom out at the impact of Romero’s ideas on the world of zombies we know today and how our modern society is only a slow zombie walk away from where we were when thee films were first released upon the world!
You can’t miss this primer episode that kicks off the festivities for Zombie Awareness! 🧟
