I can see what you mean but I love Dawn Of The Dead and I have watched it lately. Its post apocalyptic atmosphere is way better than The Walking Dead's. Then again I maybe am watching it through rose tinted specs as it is one of the first so called video nasties that I watched on my mates parents Ferguson Videostar

This along with Mad Max are the real standout films for me when I watched VHS's as a kid, that I still really like now. We also watched some real piles of ***** also in those days too.
