First seen this movie aged 13 in a video shop 1981 with friends on a Saturday afternoon . we all thought it was incredible we just Couldn’t believe what we had just watched , the owners of that video shop were great & gave us great memories
George Romero.. gave me my first Zombie fix when I was 7/1/2 pregnant in 1968... Everyone in the families thought I'd " MARK " the baby... My only child , a wonderful Son , was remarkably perfect... And still is a blessing !
@@ronwillmot464 I'm in the UK and I wish we had those big drive in cinemas like over there in the USA! Don't know why we have never had them - maybe cos it rains almost every day?!! We would have to watch them through our windscreen wipers lol
My first ever zombie movie was Return of the living dead. It had me instantly hooked on zombie movies. I was 5 years old. I'm now 41 and still love zombie movies today as much as I did 36 years ago. The modern day zombie movie wouldn't be what they are if it wasn't for George A Romero. No other zombie movies have come even close (as good as some are) to having that certain something that Romero put into his movies. They all stand head and shoulders above the rest.
My favorite is day of..of the 1st 3. But the last 2, Diary of and Survival of are Freakin' Old School real Romero too. Wish he had had time enough for a couple more. Do you know if there are any other novelizations of his movies?
Yes agreed!!!! The remake was pretty good too tho.....my fav part is when the group was caught in the stairwell and the door to the mall was locked cuz that one dbag left his post.....and the zombies stopped about 8 steps below and were just staring at them then they charged...... Lucky molly opened the door an the group was chased threw the mall.....such a classic rip romero.....
I love the books far more than the movies, so much more details are given. I watched the movies countless times, but the books always are better to me. Ty!
The 1978 Dawn of the dead is an absolute masterpiece, best zombie apocalypse film ever. The remakes are tame would love to watch classics like this, predator etc in the cinemas today. Why don’t any cinemas here (UK) offer this!?
Having watched the movie untold number of times, I can quote it almost line by line. I agree, the books give much more detail. Indeed, I learned a few things that I never picked up from the movie.
Irony. I have been listening to almost every Zombies novel out there since before October. Found this one last week. It's the Best! If you know friends looking for a good zombies story who haven't seen Dawn of, definitely recommend this. But get the movie too!
Referring to your use of irony and in the words of lnigo Montoya.... l dont think the word means what you think it means. As for "the best by far" l completely disagree. world war z (audio book NOT the movie of same name) is remarkedly superior to any other zombie book. imho.
Jarrod C Yeah? Well I had it in the second grade. I also had a time machine so I went back to the first grade and gave it to myself, and first grade me went back in time and shoved that copy up my mom's cooch and that's why I read at a college level when I was still in utero. Beat that.
this is a great discovery!! thank you for posting! my opinion is the narration is just right. for those complaining i would have a stuttering half wit narrate this book just to have it.
I love Dawn, definitely gotta check this out. Thanks for the upload! P.S.: Jonathan Davis! I didn't remember the name but I DID remember the voice from the Star Wars: Darth Bane trilogy. This voice actor is pure class.
These were the good old days when zombies were dead slow n daft,,, now there's all these parkour ones doing triple axles and running about like linford Christie.....
Eh, if you look at the OG night, the ghouls are pretty quick. The first one ever, that chases Barbra is running. Running like a drunk but he's running after Barb.
Love this Film. These 4 had the right idea in getting out the City and stumblrd across a Paradise for a while when the world was going to shit. Always made me think about prepping for a Zombie Apocalypse.lol
I’ve yet to see the original movie, I saw the 2004 remake, so I’m a bit confused as to why the first chapters are focused on escaping the city through a helicopter? When in the movie majority of the time is spent getting to and staying in a mall?
Dawn of the dead was the 1st zombie movie l ever saw. Closely followed by night of the living dead. Gotta admit this audio book doesnt match the intensity nor the experience of the movie. The audio book of world war z is far better than the movie and light years ahead of this. wwz had me riveted from start to finish, this effort is meh in comparison. imho. Maybe l'll come back to finish listening to this when l've exhausted all of the other zombie audiobooks. I do, however, appreciate the efforts made here. Kudos for that.
The book has roger as this sad pathetic guy and peter is this stone cold bad ass its kinda weird both of these guys were pretty scared but determined just weird writting.
Really enjoying the beginning so far, kinda amazed how good the Porto Ricans in the apartment are with their Mexican accents >.< cant say I've met many Porto Ricans named Miguel either lmao
Was anyone else disappointed that it wasn't the dude from Korn lol? He'd have been sniffling, and babbling, and crying and shit... all throughout the book. Could have been brilliant!
Best zombie movie all time, yes remake top 3 all-time.....they need to make another remake but stick to orignal script.... Just my humbel opinion.... But to amp up the terror of a zombie movie the zombies need to run and eating brains Lol
I don’t trust anything anyone says. people who act like they have all the answers usually are the ones least trustworthy. This is just the battle of fittest.
Their bones and muscle would eventually rot and no longer be able to produce energy. You could chill them to reduce the degenerative process, but that would most likely slow down their metabolism aswell. You could replace them with new Zeds, but then you'd run out of "workers" eventually too. If you were mad enough to infect people to produce this energy source, growing a child takes longer than it would take for the new zombie to rot to unusable state, that I'm pretty sure. I'm unsure if their could be a way to prevent decomposing bacteria and micro-organisms, once a subject has turned. If you could "sterilize" them, and then put them in a white -room, maybe that works? But would they even produce enough energy to keep the white room's ventilation working to keep their environment sterile.
As a VET and chopper mechanic, I gotta call so much BS. I realize that Romero was HOLLYWOOD, and thus incapable of any knowledge of the military/real world, but police a rule did not carry "automatics" in the 1970's. And did not call them "automatics", but by their nomenclature. And helos DO NOT use gasoline.
When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will listen to an audio book.
Fantastic thank you very much this is my favorite film of all time, the audiobook really expands on the story
This audiobook is great, it gives some insight to what the characters are thinking during moments when in the movie they just seem quiet
😊

You know Return isnt a romero film right?
"performed by Jonathan Davis"
OOAARR YOOO REEEAADYYYY...!!!

Lol I was like JD no way
I'm so blind!
Korn
First thing I thought too.
I had no idea my favorite zombie film had a novelization. This is cool!
Real Talk
My favorite is day of..of the 1st 3. But the last 2, Diary of and Survival of are Freakin' Old School real Romero too. Wish he had had time enough for a couple more.
Do you know if there are any other novelizations of his movies?
I didn’t either! The RUclips algorithm knows me all too well
And it's really good
Dawn of the dead audiobook read by Jonathan Davis? Sign me up sonnnnn!!!!

Hey, I did my time. I'm just a freak on a leash
@@tomtripp5417 now I just Got the Life lol
Sadly, it's not the one from Korn.
First time hearing the audiobook version...still an awesome horror story. Best zombie movie EVER!!!
☺️👌
joshuazoldschool while this is an excellent film I think I like "Zombi 2" aka "Zombie Flesh Eaters" better
I agree. Zombie had a creepy atmosphere. Them being conjured up by voodoo makes them more eerie.
Yes agreed!!!! The remake was pretty good too tho.....my fav part is when the group was caught in the stairwell and the door to the mall was locked cuz that one dbag left his post.....and the zombies stopped about 8 steps below and were just staring at them then they charged......

Useless details that just prolong the story.
I'll take the movie all day everyday over the Novel.❤
Jesus, everyone thought that Contagion predicted COVID-19, this version of Dawn has it nailed equally as well...
Oh this is awesome! The best audiobook narrator on a zombie novel? Loving it.
Irony. I have been listening to almost every Zombies novel out there since before October.
Found this one last week. It's the Best!
If you know friends looking for a good zombies story who haven't seen Dawn of, definitely recommend this. But get the movie too!

world war z (audio book NOT the movie of same name) is remarkedly superior to any other zombie book.
imho.
This guy did a pretty good job in narrating the story. And he even had the voices down packed. Except for Fran's. But he still did pretty damned good!
The narrator nailed the priest's voice 🤘😎👍
Amazing. Thank you. 🙏
Thank's so very much for posting this awesome audio book! A Fantastic job!🙂✌
No problem
Well this is fun. narration very good. Great voice
Thanks so much for this, been years since I read it, nice now to relax in a dark room and have it read to me!! Happy days!!
Absolutely awesome job narrating one of my favorite horror movies!!! Thank-you so much for this!
I thank God for You. Love, Light, Peace, Music and Joy
Jonathan Davis is a fantastic narrator. The first time I heard him was in the star wars Darth Bane trilogy. I highly recommend them.
I thought it was the dude from Korn.
@@ChillDealGames 😆 me too before I started it.
This is AWESOME 😎
THANKS so much!
Hah I never new this took place right around where I live. I'm right on the Susquehanna river. Thanks for the great recording

Thank you !
when they said johnathan davis i was hyped i thought it was the guy from korn for just a second.
ladedade23 Yeah that's what I'm thinking! That would be neat.
Yikes! I could only imagine
Same :/
Sorry nope not him I’m disappointed too.
Haha me 2
hey the guy who narrated the Darth Bane Trilogy
He narrirated most of the starwars books and quite a few other books like this
hey !! you listen to bane that was some good shit bruh that trilogy needs a movie
I loved that trilogy. You have a good ear man, I didn’t even notice
@@noonesbusinesss yea probably wouldn't
Fun! More please. Bravo! ❤
I have to leave so 29:49 is my bookmark.
Awesome thanks for sharing
I have this book.
I love Dawn, definitely gotta check this out. Thanks for the upload!
P.S.: Jonathan Davis! I didn't remember the name but I DID remember the voice from the Star Wars: Darth Bane trilogy. This voice actor is pure class.
A few star wars books
I thought he was the singer from Korn. Lol
I was hoping it was the singer of Korn scatting the book. But this is cool too
These were the good old days when zombies were dead slow n daft,,, now there's all these parkour ones doing triple axles and running about like linford Christie.....
Eh, if you look at the OG night, the ghouls are pretty quick.
The first one ever, that chases Barbra is running. Running like a drunk but he's running after Barb.
They are also dumber back then they could speak and had smarter to a degree
great, thanks so much xxx
Who else was hoping to hear Korns Jonathan Davis reading it.
I thought it was Korn’s Jonathan Davis.
Love this Film. These 4 had the right idea in getting out the City and stumblrd across a Paradise for a while when the world was going to shit. Always made me think about prepping for a Zombie Apocalypse.lol
I was expecting him to open with 'Twist'.
I’m surprised there isn’t one for Day of the Dead.
I’ve yet to see the original movie, I saw the 2004 remake, so I’m a bit confused as to why the first chapters are focused on escaping the city through a helicopter?
When in the movie majority of the time is spent getting to and staying in a mall?
A good 1/3 of the original focuses on them escaping the city, flying through the countryside, and finding the mall to land on top
I think he is a really good narrator
Imagine the sheer disappointment in not hearing Jonathan Davis from Korn when I clicked this video
Dawn of the dead was the 1st zombie movie l ever saw.
Closely followed by night of the living dead.
Gotta admit this audio book doesnt match the intensity nor the experience of the movie.
The audio book of world war z is far better than the movie and light years ahead of this. wwz had me riveted from start to finish, this effort is meh in comparison. imho.
Maybe l'll come back to finish listening to this when l've exhausted all of the other zombie audiobooks.
I do, however, appreciate the efforts made here.
Kudos for that.
I didn’t even realize that there was a novelization.
Anyone know if any more of Romero's Dead movies are novelizations? Day of would be Freakin' Nightmare City!
There are a couple of night of the living dead novels and audiobooks. I don't know about a day of the dead one
Awesome job!🙂✌🍻Cheers!
I can't believe the guy from korn reads the audiobook
Looks like my night shift driving HGV down a dark motorway tonight sorted🤓

Yay! They're being called 'ghouls'!!!
Is there a part 2?

Read this back in 8th grade. Scared me to death

The doctor in this story reminds me of poor Dr. Fauci trying to convince people to realize that Covid 19 is deadly.
@THE Don Spaghetti & Ravioli Actually- it is, you ignorant fuck.
@THE Don Spaghetti & Ravioli Are you a Trump supporter?
I don’t trust anything anyone says. people who act like they have all the answers usually are the ones least trustworthy. This is just the battle of fittest.
Plot twist: Dr. Fauci funded the creation of the zombie plague and destroyed the immune systems of everyone gullible enough take his “vaccine” 😂
After 2 years can you still really say that?
If I put a team of walking dead on a treadmill, can I use them to power an electric generator? Does this lower my carbon footprint?
