My first viewing was fairly recent. I'm talking maybe a few years ago on TV. It was on one of those classic channels where someone describes the impact of the movie. I only saw bits and pieces of the remake on TV and thought that it was awesome and that I needed to see the whole movie. But I was surprised at how different Barbara is in the original.

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?
None really except for what the commentator said before the movie. I found the remake watching TV late at night. I only vaguely knew of the original before the surprise viewing on TV.

3 - How was the viewing experience?
Awesome and surprising. As I mentioned in the first question. Barbara's character was different. I love the music in the original and the remake for that matter. I like how it's not really the zombies that are a problem but the people.

4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?
Tons. It's one of the best horror movies.

5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
"They're coming to get you." I love that line. I'm still not sure if I prefer the original or the remake. I do like Barbara's character more in the remake. I need to pickup both of these on Blu-ray. I saw an HD version of the remake and it was beautiful.
