First there was Night of the Living Dead. Then Dawn of the Dead. George A. Romero’s third zombie movie was Day of the Dead, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
Bloody Disgusting has learned that Romero’s Day of the Dead will be returning to theaters for its 40th anniversary for a limited run in theaters and drive-ins beginning July 1, 2025!
Since the film was first released in July 1985 and rolled out nationwide over the following months, it will be celebrating this seminal anniversary with shows across the country starting July 1, 2025, and running through October 31, 2025 – HALLOWEEN!

In George A. Romero’s 1985 horror classic, “As the world is overrun by zombies, a group of scientists and military personnel sheltering in an underground bunker in Florida must decide on how they should deal with the undead horde.” The film’s cast included Lori Cardille, Terry Alexander, Joseph Pilato, Sherman Howard, Jarlath Conroy, Richard Liberty, and Gary Klar.
