Continuity mistake: When Ben, Tom and Judy are trying to escape from the zombies in the truck, it is dark, but when the zombies are giving chase, dawn is breaking, and when the truck gets to the gas pump it is now dark once more. This is just one of a number of scenes in this film that change from darkness to daylight and vice-versa.

This is the CLASSIC George A. Romero Horror/Thriller about an unlucky day that shambling zombies arose from the dead to eat the living and spread their terrible blight! Shot in Black and White, with minimal SFX and a paltry budget yet even today the nightmare premise, decent acting and understated gore cause understandable fear in its viewers. Look for deeper messages and where this film might lead if you dare.

Karen Cooper: I hurt.
Trivia: The scene where Barbara crashes the car into the tree wasn't scripted originally; an accident that put a large dent in the car before the scene was shot prompted George Romero to re-write the scene in such a way that the dent is justified.
Question: Are 'Dawn of the Dead' and 'Day of the Dead' the morning and day after 'Night of the Living Dead'?
Answer: No. Each is a progression of several weeks or years.
