Three things I'll remember from viewing George Romero's 1978 Dawn of the Dead at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
1) The strange purple sky. It never get fully dark. The cloud cover emanated the lights from Los Angeles, felt like early morning.
2) The film is more of a satire, than horror. Two best scenes: the opening scene in the television studio with a ratcheted tension and panic. And constant drone thumping on the soundtrack. Wasn't even sure quite what was going on, but there was a heightened energy. The other notable scene: The Woodstock of rednecks gunning down zombies walking the countryside while drinking beer.
3) The three quasi-models sitting next to us snapping a hundred photos of themselves prior to the movie, then on their Iphones throughout the film, then leaving twenty minutes before the end.
