•  Shooting at the mall was suspended over the Christmas season because it would have been too costly to nightly remove and then later re-hang all the seasonal decorations.
•  Extras who appeared in this film were reportedly given $20 in cash, a box lunch, and a Dawn of the Dead t-shirt.
 
•  Some of the actors playing zombies in the movie would frequently get drunk at a late-night bar called the Brown Derby, which was in the Monroeville Mall. One night they stole a golf cart and crashed into a marble pillar, causing $7,000 worth of damage.
"It's extremely difficult, with friends, with family, but a dead body must be deactivated by either destroying the brain or severing the brain from the rest of the body."
 

FRAN:  

They're still here
STEPHEN: They're after us. They know we're still in here.
PETER:

They're after the place. They don't know why, they just remember, remember that

  they wanna be in here.
FRAN: What the hell are they?
PETER:

 

 They're us that's all. There's no more room in hell.
STEPHEN: What?
PETER: Something my Grand Daddy used to tell us. You know Macumba? Voodoo. Grand Dad
was a priest in Trinidad. Used to tell us, when there's no more room in hell, the dead will
walk the earth.
PETER: Listen, when those bay doors open there's gonna be a thousand zombies in here.
That'll take the heat off us. These guys are gonna have their hands full.
ROGER: Hey man, we can't carry all that shit. Oh, I see. We're just gonna wheel right by 'em.
PETER: We're gonna try brother. We ain't doin this for the exercise so we might as well try to
get what we can.
ROGER: No way this is gonna happen.
STEPHEN: We've got to survive! Somebody's got to survive!
DR. MILLARD The normal question, the first question is, are these cannibals? No, they are not.
Cannibalism in the true sense of the word implies an interspecies activity. These creatures
cannot be considered human. They prey on humans. They do not prey on each other,
that's the difference. They attack and they feed only on warm flesh. Intelligence?
Seemingly no reasoning ability, but basic skills remain from a remembered everyday life.
There have been reports of these creatures using tools. But even these are the most
basic, the use of tools as bludgeons and so forth. I might point out that even animals
have been known to adopt the use of tools in this manner. These creatures are nothing
but pure, motorized instinct. We must not be lulled by the concept that they are our
family members or our friends. They are not. They will not respond to such emotions.
