In the latest episode in our Romero/Savini series, we're taking a look at what many — including Mr. Savini himself — consider to be their greatest collaboration, 1985's DAY OF THE DEAD!

As the conclusion to Romero's original Living Dead Trilogy, DAWN was not well embraced by fans upon its original release, but has gone on, over the last three and a half decades, to become a stone cold cult classic, and one that many Romero fans rank as their favorite of his zombie features.

It certainly wasn't the film that Romero had envisioned when he first signed on to do it, but difficulties with securing the proper funds and fights about the film's possible rating forced Romero to change course. 

In this episode, we'll get into all of the behind-the-scenes drama that lead to the film that eventually ended up onscreen as we discuss the creation of DAY OF THE DEAD.

Coming Up:

Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy.

This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne & Justin Bishop, with special thanks to Todd Davis.
