Holy smokes, it's a miracle you aren't in the looney bin. Wait, you aren't right? I love the part where your Dad wants you to keep the gory details from Mom. Total classic Dad move. Heh.

I was eleven! The movie was considered to be so violent the ratings people were going to give it an X. So Romero and Rubenstein and the other money men decided to release the movie on their own dime without a rating. Needless to say the movie completely flipped me out. After it was over I remember dad telling me to not get real detailed when telling mom about it. But I never forgot the movie. My father took me to see Dawn of the Dead at the theater back in 1979.

In the special features, they explain how they did that gag. Tom Savini built up the actor's skull with latex, which is why he looks so Frankensteinish. The helicopter wasn't running when they filmed it. The turning blades were added in post production. Savini wound some fishing line inside the latex appliance and filled it with bloody goo. When the actor climbed the boxes, an assistant held the other end of the fishing line, then ran as fast as he could. The line became taut and ripped the appliance away. The goo splashed and voila! Instant SFX classic! Get the ultimate DVD edition. In the special features, they explain how they did that gag.
