60 of 304 · most liked firstA fun fact about the Candyman movies is that the first two had a renowned Bee Guy doing Bee Wrangling for the films but with the third movie Candyman Day of the Dead being low budget they assumed they couldn’t afford the renowned Bee Man but he was like “no…this is about the bees” and came back

neutral · AI labelView post →Day of the Dead (1985) George A. Romero (writer/ director) Yet another example of a fime that had bad public sentiment uoon release. And now it's considered to be very good. Romero didn't want to just deliver the same thing again. 📽 #FridayNightHorror #HorrorMovies #Horrorsky #Horror #Zombies
positive · AI labelView post →Pretty awesome to hear that George Romero's Day Of The Dead is coming back to theaters in July, because I've always considered it to be a summer horror film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Time to watch the new 4K remaster of my fav zombie movie, Day of the Dead! 🧟♂️
positive · AI labelView post →… Also also, my understanding is that Dia de los Muertos is a two-day holiday. And come to think of it, the movie Day of the Dead had a sequel, Day of the Dead 2, how does this constitutional theory account for that?
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched Romero’s Day of the Dead last night. It’s such an angry film and so antithetical to the conservative Reagan era mindset. All three films in Romero’s original trilogy were “against” the era they were made. Good work, George.
positive · AI labelView post →Smash two movies together to make a new movie Independence Day of The Dead
neutral · AI labelView post →There's plenty of fantasy/non-action movies set at Halloween (Flatliners, Affliction, Donnie Darko, A Perfect World, E.T.) but aside from the Day of The Dead sequence in Spectre I can't think of an out-and-out action movie that fits the bill. If anyone wants to make a Halloween heist movie, I'm in.
neutral · AI labelView post →What's that? Zombie movie marathon, you say? You ain't gotta tell me twice 😘🥰 #NowWatching Day of the Dead (1985) I always loved this one just the teeny tiniest bit more than Dawn of the Dead...shh, don't tell on me.
positive · AI labelView post →Now playing: Day of the Dead Unless something goes wonky or emergency-like tomorrow, I'll continue my Halloween tradition of watching Night of the Living Dead & jawboning about it here. But tonight ain't the Night. It's the Day, an underrated Romero masterwork that time's thankfully vindicated! 🎥
positive · AI labelView post →I'm glad "Day of the Dead" is a recognized classic. It's another film where I really don't understand the initial reaction of both critics & audiences. Must have been something going around that made people reject it, just like The Thing, & we're so far removed from it, we can't recognize what it is
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #116 "Day of the Dead" (George A. Romero/1985) Tensions rise in an old missile silo as scientists and soldiers clash on how to best handle the plague of undead. Fucking fantastic entry in Romero's living dead films!
positive · AI labelView post →Dario Argento was at screening in Turin. He'd later recut and rescore ZOMBI (yea, Goblin) for wider Italian & European release. Lucio Fulci was then commissioned to create the Italian sequel, ZOMBI 2 (79), while Romero would subsequently continue his vision in DAY OF THE DEAD (85). #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →Eli Roth is already a loser hack but the fact that he’s using genai in his new movie is so insulting to the horror genre. Horror has so many movies known for fantastic practical effects such as The Thing, Alien, Day of the Dead, etc… Keep genai out of movies and ALL art forms for that matter 😡
neutral · AI labelView post →i bet there are people whose favorite Cornetto movie is The World's End and I think that's great it's not mine, it's Hot Fuzz for me, but i get it, my favorite romero movie is Day of the Dead, followed by Land of the Dead

positive · AI labelView post →Picked up the DAY OF THE DEAD 4K yesterday with the intention of showing it to my friends for our movie club. Very excited to dive into it, but I really wish it came with a booklet of critical analysis or something like that though
neutral · AI labelView post →Loved SINNERS! With LE VOURDALAK (2023) it might be my fave vampire film in years. Thought I spotted nods to THE THING & DAY OF THE DEAD, but Ryan Coogler pretty much does his own thing & avoids in-jokes. Don't read any more, just go & see it. ps Great music + mid-credits & post-credits stingers.

positive · AI labelView post →Ah ok, was going to say, I was in Oaxaca for Day of the Dead way before Spectre and there were parades there then, but if Mexico City didn't have them before the movie, that makes more sense.
neutral · AI labelView post →When the guy is torn apart and eaten alive by zombies in Day of The Dead original film, the animal intestines had been stored in a fridge that, unfortunately, had not been plugged in. The zombies could have their noses plugged against the smell but the disgust on the victims face is real.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is the moment where I found Day of the Dead after a two year search. Being in film restoration, I really wish I hadn’t started going full Neil Peart with my arms around the film.
negative · AI labelView post →Day of the Dead. 1985. Dir: George Romero. After Fulci’s Zombie / Flesh Eaters, it’s probably the goriest zombie movie — courtesy of Tom Savini and all these *real* practical FX & makeup. #filmsky #horror #gore

positive · AI labelView post →28 Days Later. Hated the film overall, it's in the bottom 5 of zombie movies for me by the Dawn/Day of the Dead reboots, but it did have a road trip, and the visuals were basically a beautiful tour of rural England.
neutral · AI labelView post →A great trilogy. That Dawn of the Dead release is next level. I love Day of the Dead for its themes as much as the gore. It was also the first zombie movie that I have seen (at a way too tender age) and some of the scenes stuck with me for decades. #filmsky #moviesky #physicalmedia #horror #zombies
positive · AI labelView post →Love this one. I think definitely in terms of the effects work this should be mentioned alongside The Thing and The Fly, Day of the Dead, films of that nature. Some stunning work here. The phone booth death? Incredible. I love how fun yet mean spirited this film is. Good time. 🎥 #Filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Oh, me? How am I doing? Well I'm heading into my birthday week filled with anxiety and dread having just finished an entire key lime pie and watching my comfort movie, Day of the Dead
positive · AI labelView post →A horror film with the heart of Stephen King, the gore of Day Of The Dead, and the feel-bad fairy tale energy of Roald Dahl. It's a big hell yeah from me
neutral · AI labelView post →On this night (26th November) in 1988, the Scala Cinema was showing Night Of The Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, Day Of The Dead, Return Of The Living Dead and Zombie Flesh Eaters as an all-nighter.
neutral · AI labelView post →We've had Day of the Dead parades, caravans, and fairs in various cities in Mexico for years before Spectre came along. The movie just made more places go "Hey that's neat! We can do that too!" We still don't get why y'all love Cinco de Mayo so much though.

neutral · AI labelView post →"Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead" are showing at my local drive-in tomorrow night. "Day of the Dead" is my absolute favorite Romero film. Tempting.
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite thing about Mexico City’s Day of the Dead parade is that it didn’t exist until the 2016 James Bond movie Spectre depicted such a parade, and Mexico City was like, that looks dope we should actually do that.
