## Resource

We're back! This week, Windy joins us again as we look at George Romero's second zombie film, 1978's Dawn of the Dead! Things get serious in Pennsylvania, as there's no room in Hell, and the dead walk the Earth...and go to the mall, while they're at it. We'll talk about special effects, fluorescent blood, and the pros and cons of mall life. We'll weigh the power of movie bans versus the power of profit, in the most profitable movie in the franchise. All this and more, in Dawn of the Dead! Join us there, at the end of the world! Dawn of the Dead (1978) is available for purchase or rental on various streaming services, and is available on DVD and Blu-Ray.
