During the radio broadcast while Ben is smoking his last cigarette in the basement. The broadcaster declares the day of August 23rd, 1989 as the day the dead are returning to life. I don't know if it is just my inner-child, but does anyone else think that each year on this date, that the dead are going to return to life just like in the movie?
shareWow, we aint got long to go!
shareFunny, that's actually my anniversary with my girlfriend!
shareThe stupidest thing Romero, sorry Savini (actually, it was probably Romero) was that not only did they mention the day & month, but also the year. They should never have done that.
BTW, congrats on your anniversary.
Why not? I actually like that. It gives me a timeframe in which to put the story.
shareMain thing I can't figure out is why the movie was set in 1989 if it was filmed in the spring of 1990 (according to "Box Office/Business").
shareHm, I don't know if I hope for that, since August 23rd is my birthday... Well, tomorrow we'll know!
I reacted on the title of this thread of course, but didn't remember that the date was mentioned in this movie (which I looked up today by pure coincidence!). I just thought someone wanted to create a thread to celebrate me. :-)
That's funny...I was a alive and well in upstate NY on that date, and don't remember hearing about any zombie outbreaks. Then again I couldn't get any reception in the basement.
