This scene alone is better than most movies to be honest.

Probably only because its the exact atmosphere / tone / music i would think of when thinking of zombies.

And the directing of George Romero just adds soooo much to this scene (mainly helicopter sequence).

"What the hell is it?"

"Looks like a shopping mall"

Hahaha, what an ignorant question.

lol. he still hasn't. I've seen DOTD at least 10 times, and I was wondering... so I checked it out:

I think this scene is taken from the 'Euro-Cut' version, the audio (with synth fx, like in the video here) is at least on the german and another english version's audio track.

the 'Extended-Cut' however, has a different kind of music on the english audio track (I think it's "L'alba dei morti viventi", the piece with the 3/4-beat).

there may even be more different audio tracks out there... xD
