Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Corrected entry: How did the janitor zombie that attacked Roger in the JCPenney know to stand still with the mannequins before he attacked Roger? I thought the zombies weren't supposed to be smart. Also if the JCPenney was secured, how did the zombie even get in?

Correction: Zombies have some limited intelligence, such as when the zombified character remembers where the passageway has been covered up. Also look at the original Night of the Living Dead; various zombies were intelligent enough to use weapons. As for how the zombie got in, he could have been maintenance, a cleaning crew, or management who was working late.
