Longtime horror fans have yet another awesome thing to look forward to this summer. The most iconic zombie franchise of all time once began with George A. Romero’s 1968 groundbreaking film ‘Night Of The Living Dead’, considered by many to be one of the greatest horror films ever made. What followed up a decade later was the 1978 sequel ‘Dawn Of The Dead', considered by a younger generation of fans to also be one of the greatest horror films ever made. Concluding that trilogy is a film that is on the cusp of celebrating its 40th anniversary: the 1985 classic ‘Day Of The Dead’. The iconic conclusion to the trilogy will get a nationwide re-release to theaters and drive-ins for the first time since its initial release in July 1985. Screenings will begin on July 1, 2025, running all the way up to Halloween. You can find a screening near you at DAY40TH.com. The re-release trailer was unveiled by ‘Bloody Disgusting’ and can be watched at THIS LOCATION.
With its predecessors being 57 years old and 47 years old respectively, many horror fans of a younger generation never got the chance to experience any of these films among the silver screen growing up. It’s only fitting that these fans now have a chance to as this film celebrates 40 years old. A few years back, ‘Red Band Releasing’ started booking this film's predecessor ‘Dawn Of The Dead’ for a re-release, and it showcased over 500 screens both in 2-D and 3-D. ‘Red Band Releasing’ highly encourages you to contact them at RedBandReleasing@gmail.com if you don’t see a nearby screening listed at the website. You can also contact your local independent theaters or drive-ins stating your interest in viewing ‘Day Of The Dead’ on the big screen. It is proven that this remains to be an effective method in green lighting screenings as last year alone ‘Red Band Releasing’ booked over 20 theaters simply by horror fans contacting their local cinemas. Fans don’t get opportunities like this often to see one of the most iconic horror films of its kind on the silver screen, so it is highly encouraged every fan to act now and check it out for themselves.
