Dawn of the Dead 1978

[fragtzack]

 Dawn of the Dead is The second film in the birth of the zombie craze we enjoy today. The roots of 7 Days to Die comes from these "of the dead" films made by George A. Romero. Without George A. Romero (RIP) and the 3   movies he made about zombie apocalypse , seems doubtful there would be the zombie cult followings we enjoy today..this game is just one.

 

A giant shopping mall like in Dawn of the Dead (my fav of the 3 movies!) would be so  awesome in 7D2D.

 

Night of the living dead, the first zombie horror film didn't enjoy mainstream success until  Dawn of the Dead. 

 

3 cheers for a giant shopping mall POI and oh yeah put George Romero name somewhere in the mall! Give the man some tribute for birthing this craze.

The Haitians might disagree with the focus of your tribute.

actually search "white zombie" as it was the first bw movie made with so called zombies of that era. circa 1932 i believe. i also believe 7dtd owes more to TWD for inspirations. big mamma is actually from one of the romero movies tho.

To be fair, @fragtzack didn't say Romero invented zombies, only that his films increased their popularity. While the idea of zombies existed before, I think most people would attribute zombie fandom to the Romero films. TWD, and by extension 7DTD, owe their success to those films. I don't think any of this would exist without Romero.

sorry but i did not say anything about fragtzack. i was fun poking mahrin (sorry for not quoting him but was all for fun not criticizing) he in turn may not be far from the truth as i was only pointing out the earliest known zombie movie and not what is in history as to where it actually started from.

I only pretend to know things.  Criticize away!

I could split some hairs with you on G.A. Romero's fame and his later productions and how good they are or were, but - I have so good news for you:

 

You can download something called the compo pack and within there is a POI called Eden Center Mall, and it's a massive POI that can take quite a long time to explore and secure.  Enjoy!
