Dawn of the Dead is one of the best zombie movies that isn't really about the zombies. David Emge, playing helicopter pilot Stephen, points this out when he explains the presence of the zombies in the mall. But Emge wasn't actually a professional actor. He was a chef at a New York City restaurant. He met Romero here, and the director decided to cas...
Ken Foree played Peter, a relatively inexperienced actor from Indiana. Foree continues to act, appearing in an episode of Nightwalkers in 2019 and the movie John Henryin 2020. He has also recently appeared in a number of retrospective documentaries. Two were released in 2019: Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror and Time Warp: The Greatest Cult ...
In some ways, Scott Reiniger's Roger is one of the funniest horror characters of all time. He's certainly the most lively of the core four, and Reiniger's gung-ho performance is a huge reason for the movie's enjoyability. Reiniger turned 73 years old in 2021, and he has mostly retired from showbusiness. He appeared in the documentary Inside Bryan i...
Gaylen Ross played the movie's sole female character. Romero loves populating his films with badass female leads, and Dawn of the Deadis no different, thanks to the strong Frannie. Ross turned 71 years old in August of 2021, but she is still active in the entertainment industry. Today, Ross is mostly directing documentaries. Her documentary Ximei w...

Kovitz actually has quite a substantial filmography and has appeared in a number of recent high-profile films, including Concussion and The ...
John Harrison plays one of the most memorable zombies in the film. While running through the department store, Harrison's screwdriver zombie jumps out and grabs Roger by the leg.

Dawn of the Dead was certainly Romero's creation. Romero was heavily involved in the creative process, and he wrote, directed, and edited the film. There are various horror movies some might not know are directed by Romero, and then there is Dawn of the Dead, his undeniable masterpiece. Unfortunately, Romero passed away from lung cancer in July of ...
Michael Gornick served as the director of photography on Dawn of the Dead. Gornick was a long-time collaborator of Romero's, having also worked with him on the likes of Knightriders, Creepshow, and Day of the Dead.

Dawn of the Dead wouldn't have received its reputation without the work of make-up effects artist Tom Savini. Savini helped bring Dawn to horrifying life with his masterful make-up effects and gore, and while the effects look somewhat dated today, he would later perfect his art in Day of the Dead. Savini has recently done some acting work, appearin...
