Dawn of the Dead

Dawn of the Dead's "First Draft Treatment"

Submitted by ACH97 on

The earliest material for Dawn of the Dead seems to come from 1974, possibly late 1973. We have a letter dated April 1974 that refers to a meeting between American International Pictures and Romero about a sequel to Night of the Living Dead (already called Dawn of the Dead at that point) and, for reasons that will be explored at a later post, the unfinished draft dubbed a "First Draft Treatment" seems to be the version of the story Romero had proposed to AIP.
