Dawn of the Dead (1979), and Zombi 2 aka Zombie aka Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979)

ALL MOVIES SPOILED

In this film block, Jeremy and Brian are joined by Michael Floyd to continue discussing how the zombie evolved into the movie monster we know and love today. From the 1600’s in Haiti to the 1930’s in the States to the monster it became in the 1980’s, the zombie had a long journey. This is the second rung on the evolutionary ladder for this pop culture icon.
