Dawn of the Dead Returning to Theaters for 45th Anniversary


George A. Romero’s zombie horror classic, Dawn of the Dead, is returning to theaters in North America in celebration of its 45th anniversary.

Throughout April and May, the film will screen at more than 90 theaters and drive-ins across the US and Canada. Notably, there will be showings at the Monroeville Mall in Monroeville, Pennsylvania (where Dawn of the Dead was film) and at the Row House Theatre in Pittsburgh (the city where the film originally premiered in the US in 1979). Find a complete list of screenings below and ticket info here.

To coincide with the film’s re-release, on March 12th, Fright-Rags is releasing a pair of 45th anniversary Dawn of the Dead T-shirts and a special trading card set.

A sequel of sorts to Romero’s 1968 film Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead tells the story of a group of survivors during a zombie outbreak who take refuge in a suburban shopping mall while mass hysteria wreaks havoc on their town. In 2019, Consequence ranked Dawn of the Dead as the best horror movie sequel of all time.
