LOS ANGELES- October 17th, 2022– We just wanted to take a moment to remind you that George A. Romero’s genre defining classic, Dawn of the Dead, has been converted to dazzling 3D and is being re-released to Regal Cinemas across the nation on Halloween Weekend, Friday, October 28th through Halloween night, Monday, October 31st. Tickets are on sale now.

Every generation this movie finds new fans. That has a lot to do with the absolute explosion of zombies in popular culture the past two decades, from The Walking Dead to 28 Days Later. However, this trilogy (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead) is the original zombie outbreak, it’s where it all began, that’s why their popularity compounds every year.

The reason to revisit the film or even see it a first time, is the unbelievable conversion into 3D. It’s not a gimmick! Fans will get to see it in a whole new light. It’s a magnified immersive roller coaster ride of thrills, chills, comedy, and relatable characters in jeopardy on a big screen. The fact that it’s Halloween weekend is the cherry on top, perfect night out for family and friends!

It also makes the perfect Halloween news story.

The movie is not available on any streaming platform anywhere. It isn’t on cable, and has been out-of-print on DVD and Blu-ray in the U.S. for over a decade. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the original, uncut 1979 US theatrical release version of Dawn of the Dead, lovingly and meticulously adapted to 3-D format under the frame-by-frame supervision of Dawn’s original producer, Richard P. Rubinstein.
