Day of the Dead is a 1985 American horror film written and directed by George A. Romero and the third film in Romero’s Dead series, being preceded by Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Dawn of the Dead (1978).[2]

Romero describes the film as a “tragedy about how a lack of human communication causes chaos and collapse even in this small little pie slice of society”.[3]

This film features Sherman Howard in an early appearance as Bub, and make-up artist Gregory Nicotero playing Pvt. Johnson and assisting Tom Savini with the make-up effects.
