Description
  • Even though the contents are likely to be very, very depressing.
  • Heavily foxed, crumbling parchment, bound in suitably unpleasant flaking leather. It certainly looks like a diary of the dead. [Use this to increase your Favours: Tomb-Colonies for Renown, and gain Favours with Fate]

abstract
  • Diary of the Dead is the fifth film in Romero's highly acclaimed Dead series of zombie films. It is not a direct sequel to previous films in the series, but "a rejigging of the myth" according to Romero. The plot of Diary of the Dead is set around the same time as the initial zombie outbreak in Night of the Living Dead (1968), the first film in Romero's Dead series. Diary of the Dead follows a band of people making a horror film at the time of the first outbreak who decide to record the epidemic incident documentary-style and end up themselves being chased down by zombies. It is also the first film in Romero's series to explicitly reveal that the zombie epidemic is a not a localized event but a worldwide phenomenon.
