"Dawn of the Dead"
written by George A. Romero and Susanna Sparrow
Narrated by Jonathan Davis
As hordes of zombies swarm over the U.S., the terrified populace tries everything in their power to escape the attack of the undead, but neither cities nor the countryside prove safe. In Pennsylvania, radio-station employee Stephen and his girlfriend, Francine, escape in the station helicopter, accompanied by two renegade SWAT members, Roger and Pete. The group retreats to the haven of an enclosed shopping center to make what could be humanity's last stand.

When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will listen to an audio book.
This audiobook is great, it gives some insight to what the characters are thinking during moments when in the movie they just seem quiet
😊
First seen this movie aged 13 in a video shop 1981 with friends on a Saturday afternoon . we all thought it was incredible we just Couldn’t believe what we had just watched , the owners of that video shop were great & gave us great memories
Awwwww video shops, now they were beautiful days, thick with memories...
@@MarkOrourke-rh5fu exciting times so much new on offer
George Romero.. gave me my first Zombie fix when I was 7/1/2 pregnant in 1968... Everyone in the families thought I'd " MARK " the baby... My only child , a wonderful Son , was remarkably perfect... And still is a blessing !
Yeah my sister went to the drive-in when Night of the living Dead, '68. I was 9 so I had to wait a few years, HA!
@@ronwillmot464 I'm in the UK and I wish we had those big drive in cinemas like over there in the USA! Don't know why we have never had them - maybe cos it rains almost every day?!! We would have to watch them through our windscreen wipers lol
Glad to hear he's a good kid we need all we can get ,stay well .
He probably has +30 Agility against zombies. 😉🍀🙏
Such a heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing
"performed by Jonathan Davis"
OOAARR YOOO REEEAADYYYY...!!!
?
Lol I was like JD no way
I'm so blind!
Korn
First thing I thought too.
My first ever zombie movie was Return of the living dead. It had me instantly hooked on zombie movies. I was 5 years old. I'm now 41 and still love zombie movies today as much as I did 36 years ago. The modern day zombie movie wouldn't be what they are if it wasn't for George A Romero. No other zombie movies have come even close (as good as some are) to having that certain something that Romero put into his movies. They all stand head and shoulders above the rest.
You know Return isnt a romero film right?
Who else was hoping to hear Korns Jonathan Davis reading it.
Dawn of the dead audiobook read by Jonathan Davis? Sign me up sonnnnn!!!!
Queen Lexi fuk u
Hey, I did my time. I'm just a freak on a leash
@@tomtripp5417 now I just Got the Life lol
I had no idea my favorite zombie film had a novelization. This is cool!
Real Talk
My favorite is day of..of the 1st 3. But the last 2, Diary of and Survival of are Freakin' Old School real Romero too. Wish he had had time enough for a couple more.
Do you know if there are any other novelizations of his movies?
I didn’t either! The CZcams algorithm knows me all too well
First time hearing the audiobook version...still an awesome horror story. Best zombie movie EVER!!!
☺️👌
joshuazoldschool while this is an excellent film I think I like "Zombi 2" aka "Zombie Flesh Eaters" better
I agree. Zombie had a creepy atmosphere. Them being conjured up by voodoo makes them more eerie.
Yes agreed!!!! The remake was pretty good too tho.....my fav part is when the group was caught in the stairwell and the door to the mall was locked cuz that one dbag left his post.....and the zombies stopped about 8 steps below and were just staring at them then they charged...... Lucky molly opened the door an the group was chased threw the mall.....such a classic rip romero.....
Edward L you spoiling dickhead -_-
@@limeanimation2524 getting spoiled at this point is kinda on you, vaginahead!
My fav movie of all time. Went to mall so was personal
Mines is this and dead, had thos book, read it a few good times, watched it loads.
This guy did a pretty good job in narrating the story. And he even had the voices down packed. Except for Fran's. But he still did pretty damned good!
The narrator nailed the priest's voice 🤘😎👍
This is AWESOME 😎
THANKS so much!
I thank God for You. Love, Light, Peace, Music and Joy
Irony. I have been listening to almost every Zombies novel out there since before October.
Found this one last week. It's the Best!
If you know friends looking for a good zombies story who haven't seen Dawn of, definitely recommend this. But get the movie too!
Whats ironic about that?
Referring to your use of irony and in the words of lnigo Montoya....
l dont think the word means what you think it means.
As for "the best by far" l completely disagree.
world war z (audio book NOT the movie of same name) is remarkedly superior to any other zombie book.
imho.
Oh this is awesome! The best audiobook narrator on a zombie novel? Loving it.
Chapter 2 28:14
Chapter 3 1:13:33
Chapter 4 1:40:43
You’re the goat
One of my favorite movies of all time on audiobook amazing!
I love the books far more than the movies, so much more details are given. I watched the movies countless times, but the books always are better to me. Ty!
movies are all about the explosions to hell with the story ^_-
The 1978 Dawn of the dead is an absolute masterpiece, best zombie apocalypse film ever. The remakes are tame would love to watch classics like this, predator etc in the cinemas today. Why don’t any cinemas here (UK) offer this!?
Having watched the movie untold number of times, I can quote it almost line by line. I agree, the books give much more detail. Indeed, I learned a few things that I never picked up from the movie.
Useless details that just prolong the story.
I'll take the movie all day everyday over the Novel.❤
Had fun hearing this thank you for posting 👽
Great listen thanks for posting
Fun! More please. Bravo! ❤
Absolutely awesome job narrating one of my favorite horror movies!!! Thank-you so much for this!
Jonathan Davis is a fantastic narrator. The first time I heard him was in the star wars Darth Bane trilogy. I highly recommend them.
I thought it was the dude from Korn.
@@ChillDealGames 😆 me too before I started it.
Thank's so very much for posting this awesome audio book! A Fantastic job!🙂✌
No problem
Amazing. Thank you. 🙏
Great reading voice
when they said johnathan davis i was hyped i thought it was the guy from korn for just a second.
ladedade23 Yeah that's what I'm thinking! That would be neat.
Yikes! I could only imagine
Same :/
Sorry nope not him I’m disappointed too.
Haha me 2
Hah I never new this took place right around where I live. I'm right on the Susquehanna river. Thanks for the great recording
This is great! Thanks.
Thank you !
Awesome thanks for sharing
Well this is fun. narration very good. Great voice
Jesus, everyone thought that Contagion predicted COVID-19, this version of Dawn has it nailed equally as well...
Good story helps me sleep
Perfect reading voice ;) I love zombies.
Thank you so much for posting this!..Had the paperback back in 1989 when I was in 5th grade..went out of print..been searching ever since.
barniculas get it Amazon or eBay
barniculas I had it when I was in the 4th grade....
You win a cookie
Jarrod C Yeah? Well I had it in the second grade. I also had a time machine so I went back to the first grade and gave it to myself, and first grade me went back in time and shoved that copy up my mom's cooch and that's why I read at a college level when I was still in utero. Beat that.
Honestly had no idea there was a novel.
I love the human behavior parables of this
Yh we humans are fucking IDIOTS.
hey the guy who narrated the Darth Bane Trilogy
He narrirated most of the starwars books and quite a few other books like this
hey !! you listen to bane that was some good shit bruh that trilogy needs a movie
I loved that trilogy. You have a good ear man, I didn’t even notice
@@noonesbusinesss yea probably wouldn't
I have this book. My brother bought it for me from Amazon long time ago.
great, thanks so much xxx
I have to leave so 29:49 is my bookmark.
Thanks so much for this, been years since I read it, nice now to relax in a dark room and have it read to me!! Happy days!!
Awesome job!🙂✌🍻Cheers!
this is a great discovery!! thank you for posting! my opinion is the narration is just right. for those complaining i would have a stuttering half wit narrate this book just to have it.
Thomas Bisignani right on brother
S'Goo...
I was hoping it was the singer of Korn scatting the book. But this is cool too
I love Dawn, definitely gotta check this out. Thanks for the upload!
P.S.: Jonathan Davis! I didn't remember the name but I DID remember the voice from the Star Wars: Darth Bane trilogy. This voice actor is pure class.
A few star wars books
I thought he was the singer from Korn. Lol
I thought it was Korn’s Jonathan Davis.
I have this book.
Love this Film. These 4 had the right idea in getting out the City and stumblrd across a Paradise for a while when the world was going to shit. Always made me think about prepping for a Zombie Apocalypse.lol
Imagine the sheer disappointment in not hearing Jonathan Davis from Korn when I clicked this video
I’m surprised there isn’t one for Day of the Dead.
I was expecting him to open with 'Twist'.
1:07:20
Yay! They're being called 'ghouls'!!!
Anyone know if any more of Romero's Dead movies are novelizations? Day of would be Freakin' Nightmare City!
There are a couple of night of the living dead novels and audiobooks. I don't know about a day of the dead one
Read this back in 8th grade. Scared me to death
I’ve yet to see the original movie, I saw the 2004 remake, so I’m a bit confused as to why the first chapters are focused on escaping the city through a helicopter?
When in the movie majority of the time is spent getting to and staying in a mall?
A good 1/3 of the original focuses on them escaping the city, flying through the countryside, and finding the mall to land on top
I didn’t even realize that there was a novelization.
Considering what people are prepared to do when necessary, I find these types conflicts really stupid. Who in their right mind would defend a corpse?
I can't believe the guy from korn reads the audiobook
Looks like my night shift driving HGV down a dark motorway tonight sorted🤓
These were the good old days when zombies were dead slow n daft,,, now there's all these parkour ones doing triple axles and running about like linford Christie.....
Eh, if you look at the OG night, the ghouls are pretty quick.
The first one ever, that chases Barbra is running. Running like a drunk but he's running after Barb.
They are also dumber back then they could speak and had smarter to a degree
I think he is a really good narrator
Friends, where can I find the text for this audiobook?
Really enjoying the beginning so far, kinda amazed how good the Porto Ricans in the apartment are with their Mexican accents >.< cant say I've met many Porto Ricans named Miguel either lmao
*Puerto*.... Puerto Ricans.
@@alexandertroy9621 well that's embarrassing 😳
They missed, "Maybe closer to Cleveland"
Is there a part 2?
Hell
o
I'm Samuel. 👀
Was anyone else disappointed that it wasn't the dude from Korn lol? He'd have been sniffling, and babbling, and crying and shit... all throughout the book.
Could have been brilliant!
I don’t think this is the Jonathan Davis I was thinking of lol
Holy shit! What a find.
Dawn of the dead was the 1st zombie movie l ever saw.
Closely followed by night of the living dead.
Gotta admit this audio book doesnt match the intensity nor the experience of the movie.
The audio book of world war z is far better than the movie and light years ahead of this. wwz had me riveted from start to finish, this effort is meh in comparison. imho.
Maybe l'll come back to finish listening to this when l've exhausted all of the other zombie audiobooks.
I do, however, appreciate the efforts made here.
Kudos for that.
Hmm.. two Frans I don't like in the books or the movies.. This Fran and the Fran from Stephen kings The Stand..

If I put a team of walking dead on a treadmill, can I use them to power an electric generator? Does this lower my carbon footprint?
Their bones and muscle would eventually rot and no longer be able to produce energy. You could chill them to reduce the degenerative process, but that would most likely slow down their metabolism aswell. You could replace them with new Zeds, but then you'd run out of "workers" eventually too. If you were mad enough to infect people to produce this energy source, growing a child takes longer than it would take for the new zombie to rot to unusable state, that I'm pretty sure.
I'm unsure if their could be a way to prevent decomposing bacteria and micro-organisms, once a subject has turned. If you could "sterilize" them, and then put them in a white -room, maybe that works? But would they even produce enough energy to keep the white room's ventilation working to keep their environment sterile.

Best zombie movie all time, yes remake top 3 all-time.....they need to make another remake but stick to orignal script.... Just my humbel opinion.... But to amp up the terror of a zombie movie the zombies need to run and eating brains Lol
Hell NO! The original is awesome no remakes
The remake was good but they need to eat flesh not brains "Kill the brain ,kill the ghoul"

A 138 pound man could not use a 20 pound sledgehammer.
lol yes they could.
Astro zombie you ever try to swing a 20 pound sledgehammer?
He did swing it like a pansy in the film,nearly fell over ! 👍
"COME ON FLY BOY!"
I way 140lbs I work in construction and I swing a sledgehammer almost daily..
The book has roger as this sad pathetic guy and peter is this stone cold bad ass its kinda weird both of these guys were pretty scared but determined just weird writting.
Korn’s Jonathan Davis read this!?
Yes
No
The open is alarmingly like the world has reacted to Covid.
Covid is just as made up as the zombie plague.
@@rifleshooterchannel208 Try not to be a twat your whole life. ;)
As a VET and chopper mechanic, I gotta call so much BS. I realize that Romero was HOLLYWOOD, and thus incapable of any knowledge of the military/real world, but police a rule did not carry "automatics" in the 1970's. And did not call them "automatics", but by their nomenclature. And helos DO NOT use gasoline.
What did helicopters use in the 70s, diesel?
It's fiction. Civilisation has collapsed, dead are taking over, and your biggest complaint is helicopters didn't run on gasoline. Lol.
Korn my not be touring
Dee liss ee ouss
The doctor in this story reminds me of poor Dr. Fauci trying to convince people to realize that Covid 19 is deadly.
@THE Don Spaghetti & Ravioli Actually- it is, you ignorant fuck.
@THE Don Spaghetti & Ravioli Are you a Trump supporter?
I don’t trust anything anyone says. people who act like they have all the answers usually are the ones least trustworthy. This is just the battle of fittest.
Plot twist: Dr. Fauci funded the creation of the zombie plague and destroyed the immune systems of everyone gullible enough take his “vaccine” 😂
“Poor Fauci”
I hope he rots in hell.
Great narration however I can't take all the shouting it's not an easy read to listen to
