''[[Day of the Dead]]'' (also known as ''George A. Romero's Day of the Dead'') is a 1985 horror film by director George A. Romero, the third of Romero's Living Dead movies. It is preceded by ''[[Night of the Living Dead]]'' and ''[[Dawn of the Dead (film)|Dawn of the Dead]]''. George Romero describes the film as a "tragedy about how a lack of human communication causes chaos and collapse even in this small little pie slice of society". Steve Miner directed a remake which was released on February 15, 2008, and there is an official sequel called ''Day of the Dead 2: Contagium'' which nobody from the original movie had any involvement with.
Line 15:
The movie opens with a group of [[Death by Sex|teenagers are engaging in sexual activities]] in a disused bunker. Trevor's girlfriend wants to leave and so with Trevor being the transportation they all leave and find that the military has blocked off the town and there are a bunch of sick people in town. At the same time privates Bud and Cross go to visit Cross's mother who has become sick (Cross is Trevor's sister). Trevor and his girlfriend and the two privates end up taking their mother to the local hospital. At the hospital suddenly all the infected take a turn for the worse and turn into [[Our Zombies Are Different|zombies]] with super human strength and speed, their mother as well. Trevor and girlfriend rush over to a local radio station while Bub and Cross get stuck in a cupboard, after a quick [[Air Vent Passageway]] escape they get out, rescue the teenagers and head over the bunker at the start of the film. Bub managed to get bit but doesn't turn against other humans. At the bunker {{spoiler|they find that the zombie attack all part of a government study of viruses}}. They managed to burn all the zombies in the bunker that have followed them and are last seen driving off into the distance.
 
Not to be confused with November 2, aka Día de los Muertos in [[Mexico]].
