First there was Night of the Living Dead. Then Dawn of the Dead. George A. Romero’s third zombie movie was Day of the Dead, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
Bloody Disgusting has learned that Romero’s Day of the Dead will be returning to theaters for its 40th anniversary for a limited run in theaters and drive-ins beginning July 1, 2025!
Since the film was first released in July 1985 and rolled out nationwide over the following months, it will be celebrating this seminal anniversary with shows across the country starting July 1, 2025, and running through October, 31st 2025 – HALLOWEEN!
To find a screening near you check Red Band Releasing’s Blog at DAY40TH.COM for a list of dates and theatres that will be updated every few days starting in mid-June.
Red Band Releasing tells us, “If you don’t see a nearby screening listed at the site, contact your local independent theatres or drive-ins and tell them you want to see Day of the Dead on the big screen for it’s 40th anniversary by contacting us at RedBandReleasing@gmail.com for booking info. This grass-root campaigning for shows actually works! Last year we booked over 20 of the 100+ theatres spurred on by horror fans contacting their local venues!”
Red Band Releasing will also be in attendance at the Living Dead Weekend at the Monroeville Mall starting June 6 and they’ll have new Dawn and Day posters available for purchase.
In George A. Romero’s 1985 horror classic, “As the world is overrun by zombies, a group of scientists and military personnel sheltering in an underground bunker in Florida must decide on how they should deal with the undead horde.” The film’s cast included Lori Cardille, Terry Alexander, Joseph Pilato, Sherman Howard, Jarlath Conroy, Richard Liberty, and Gary Klar.
