Well that special time of the year has once again come and gone. My Halloween was alright, I passed candy to all the kids, and decided to watch horror movies all night.

Movie: Dawn of the Dead, 1978.

Plot: A horrific pandemic in which the dead are returning to life to feed on the living is sweeping the entire world. The cause of this phenomenon remains unknown, but as it continues to spread, mass panic is erupting everywhere as citizens try desperately to fight and escape the endless hordes of the living dead. Four friends in Philadelphia named Roger, (Scott H. Reiniger) Peter, (Ken Foree) Stephen (David Emge) and Francine (Gaylen Ross) decide to flee the city by helicopter in hopes of finding a safer place to hide out and survive. The group travels to a mall outside the city, with plenty of food and supplies they decide to hold out in the mall for as long as they can. After barricading themselves into the shopping center, the four friends begin to start a new life together. Although safe from the countless living dead, the group begins to witness the collapse of civilization, and the end of humanity itself.

One of the most important and critically acclaimed horror films ever created, Dawn of the Dead helped pave the way the modern horror genre we have today. After thirty years since its release, Dawn of the Dead still remains as one of the most popular horror films, and one of the best action packed bloodbaths you'll ever see.
