DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978). Loved NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and when this came to the Chicago area around April 1979, tried five different theatres, but no one under 18 was allowed and even checking ID's. Back in those days, if you missed a film, it was just hard luck. It might come back around or get on TV butchered for commercials.
A couple of years later, saw it was playing nearby and after getting out of work a little early and hauling ass to the theatre, finally got to see it. Astounded at its audacity and over the top nature and started hitting the Midnight movies with different people frequently.
30 plus years later, still think it's an awesome film that works so well. For a raving zombie geek like myself, the Anchor Bay Four Pack is the only way to go. *****
