Looks like a free lunch.

Spam!

Do you bring a can opener?

No, I guess I didn't.

Then don't knock it.

It got it's own key.

What do you think?

This is the only way up here.

What do you think?

You better get some sleep too, buddy.

There's an awful lot of stuff

down there that we could use.

I know it.

Big place. But they're pretty

spread down there.

I think we can out-run 'em

Hit and run?

Hit and run.

Are you crazy?

This place could be a gold mine.

We gotta a least check it out.

This is exactly what we're

trying to go away from... Look what...

Stephen!

Leave him be.

We're going ourselves.

That's ready to shoot. Be careful.

The trigger squeezes really easy...

but the weapon'll kick you good

when it fires. Be ready for that!

Anyone but us comes up the stairs,

you guys take off in the machine.

You'll probably hear some shooting.

Just don't panic, ok?

Here.

Keys to the kingdom.

Grab the walkie talkies.

It's Christmas time down there, buddy.

Fat city, brother. How we gonna work it?

We get into one of the stores up here.

They'll probably have their own escalators.

Let's check those keys.

Fifteen upper and lower.

Right here.

How about a little music?

What?

Might cover the noise we make.

Hit 'em all. Might as well

have power in everything.

We might need it.

Stephen?

Stephen!

What do you think?

Bag it or try for it?

- You game?

- I need lighter fuel.

You got it.

Jesus Christ! They're maniacs!

Wait...

Alright!

C'mon!

Stephen, don't go down there!

- Bastard!

- What happen?

Don't open!

Not working!

C'mon!

Don't open the door! C'mon!

Let her go!

Take care of the other one!

Stephen, for God sake!

We can't leave those

guys down there.

Well... We're in.

Now how the hell we're gonna get back?

Who the hell cares?

Let's go shopping first!

Watch it! Watch it!

Just let's get the stuff we need!

I'm gonna get us a television and a radio!

Ok, find the goods.

I got them! I got them!

Ok.

I'm gonna need

at least a couple!

Why not?

Hey man, we can't carry all that sh*t.

Oh, I see. We're just

gonna wheel right by 'em.

We gonna try brother. We ain't doin' this for

the exercise. We might try to get what we can.

Alright. Let's go brother!

The old okey doke!

- Hey, Ugly!

- Let's raise some hell... Hey... Hey...!

- Come here champ! Come here!

- Over here... Hey... Hey...!

- C'mon, over here!

- Over here! That's right!

C'mon, C'mon...

C'mon, C'mon...!

Alright, c'mon!

C'mon... Over here...

Just give it time...

give it time.

Ok. They're coming.

Go on up. Stay outta sight but

lemme know when is clear enough.

- Ok.

- Ok.

Come to papa! That's it.

Keep coming... Keep coming.

Peter, it's good. Let's do it.

Is it clear?

Not altogether... But they

spread out pretty good.

- I think we can move the wagon.

- I'm comin'

- What the hell was that?

- I don't know... Fuzz maybe?

Or maybe flyboy. Where's it comin' from?

I don't know. I can't tell.

C'mon. Open up.

- Maybe I'd go with you.

- Open up so I can get the wagon over!

- If it's flyboy, let's get him on our side.

- Ok.

- You just cover me good. You hear?

- You got it!

Hold it flyboy!

Don't go into the stairway!

Don't open that door, baby.

You'll lead 'em right up with you.

Run for it. Run this way.

That's it. C'mon! Run...

Run... Run... C'mon!

Now... Head for the department store.

Go!

Ok, downstairs again...

Same trick... Let's go!

- What do we do?

- Let them know we're here.

Whoooo Hoooo!

C'mon. Let's go... Over here!

You did alright this time, flyboy.

How about it?

- Whooooo peeeee!

- Over here.

Now is the time to make

savers in our weekend sales department.

Jesus Christ!

...dinning room fest

with a 40 by 60 burlap table...

Why pay more when

the sales are open right here!

We just gotta wait longer before we move.

There's always the chance of some

of 'em stayin' up on the balcony.

We can handle that.

We can break through 'em.

If any of 'em see or hear us. They'll

just follow us up. It's not good.

We can sure outrun 'em. Load up

what we can and get the hell outta here.

I've been thinking...

Maybe we got a good thing going here...

- Maybe we shouldn't be in such a hurry to leave.

- Oh, man!

If we could get back up there

without them catchin' on...

We could hold up for a while.

At least long enough to catch a breath.

Check out the radio. See what's hapenin'

- Oh, man!

- There's some kind of passageway

over the top of the stores.

I don't know if it's just heating

ducts or some kind of access.

I saw 'em on a map.

Upstairs... Let's go!

Ceiling is just lighting grids!

Is gotta be in this area.

It's on the map!

Elevator shaft...

Hold the doors!

It's here. You gonna need a screwdriver

or somethin' to stand on for down there.

I know where the tools are.

Why don't you grab the stool over there?

It's alright. We can get it off.

You found it, flyboy.

One stop shopping. Anything you

need right at your fingertips.

- Phillips?

- Here you go.

Stephen?

Sh*t!

Jesus!

I seen it. C'mon.

Don't shoot! They'll hear it downstairs!

Looks like we're gonna be ok.

You should see all the great

stuff we got, Frannie.

All kinds of stuff...

This place is terrific!

It's really esay to pick the profit.

All kinds of things...

We really got it made in here... Frannie!

Frannie?

What the hell time is it, anyway?

Not quite nine.

And nothing?

As long as we're getting the pattern

that's means they're sending the signal.

No longer seek ocupancy

in private residences...

... no matter how safe or

well protected they may be.

... the president today is

a the congress...

Is she alright?

She looks blunt.

- What do you expect?

- I mean, she really looks sick.

Phisically.

She's pregnant.

... the communications with

Detroit had been knocked out...

How long?

Three and half, maybe four months.

Jesus!

Steve, maybe we should

try to get movin'

We can deal with it.

Yeah, but maybe she needs a

doctor or somethin'

We can deal with it!

Doesn't change a thing.

Do you wanna get

rid of it?

- Huh?

- Do you want to abort?

It's not too late.

And I know how.

How your decisitions were made?

Do you want to abort it?

Do you?

Somebody better sit

watch all the time.

They'll never get through there.

Enough of 'em will. And ain't just

them things we got to worry about.

That chopper up there could give us

away if somebody comes messin' around.

What are gonna do?

Land another pilot to fly it out.

They're not gonna mess with a little bird

like that. They got enough in their hands.

So, I guess we forget

about Canada, right?

Nobody cares about my vote.

Oh, c'mon, Frannie

don't you sleeping.

You know... I'm afraid... You're

hypnotised by this place... All of you!

It's all so bright and neatly wrapped

that you don't see is a prison too!

Stephen, just let's take what we

need and keep going.

Do you know how many times do we have

to land for fuel on our way up north?

Those things out there are everywhere.

George A. Romero

George Andrew Romero (February 4, 1940 – July 16, 2017) was an American-Canadian filmmaker, writer and editor, best known for his series of gruesome and satirical horror films about an imagined zombie apocalypse, beginning with Night of the Living Dead (1968), which is often considered a progenitor of the fictional zombie of modern culture. Other films in the series include Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985). Aside from this series, his works include The Crazies (1973), Martin (1978), Creepshow (1982), Monkey Shines (1988), The Dark Half (1993) and Bruiser (2000). He also created and executive-produced the 1983–88 television series Tales from the Darkside. Romero is often noted as an influential pioneer of the horror-film genre, and has been called an "icon" and the "Father of the Zombie Film". more…
