Ranking George Romero's "Of the Dead" Films

As you no doubt have heard, George Romero passed away earlier today.  In honor of the man who was the progenitor of the shambling, flesh-eating undead, here are my rankings of his six zombie movies.

1. Dawn of the Dead
Everyone knows this is the best one.

HMM '12 Day 24: Dawn of the Dead

It's October! That means two very important things: Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts are here, and Halloween is near! My favorite thing to do in October to prepare myself for Halloween is to, of course, watch movies that I feel best exemplify the season. Now, this doesn't just mean extreme gore fests (of course, I do love me some gore), but I like to include movies that have that Halloween feel. Anyway, let's get to Day 24 of Halloween Movie Madness 2012!

Dawn of the Dead
(United Film Distribution Company, 1978)

The original Dawn of the Dead, the movie that ranks at the very top of my favorite zombie movies list, is the subject of today’s Halloween Movie Madness.
