All the zombie extras received one hat with 'I was a zombie in Day of the Dead' written on it, one autographed copy of 'The Dead Walk' newspaper featured at the beginning of the film and one dollar.

Although this film was set in Florida, most of it was filmed in a salt mine outside Pittsburgh PA.

Lori Cardille said on TV that, in the scene where all the hands are coming through the wall (the second picture on your Day of the Dead page), her real life husband's hand was protecting her stomach and breasts so that the other 'hands' would not touch her.

Deleted scene from deserted city.

EXT. A MAIN STREET - DAY

We are looking down from a HIGH ANGLE. The corner of A TALL
BUILDING is in the FOREGROUND. A CORPSE is dangling from A
NOOSE. It's'been dead for some time. It's mostly bone now, its
blackened flesh picked clean by scavenger birds and harbour
rats. A SIGN flaps against its chest cavity. Its hurriedly
scrawled message reads:TAKE ME, LORD! I LOVE YOU!

THE ROPE BREAKS suddenly and THE CORPSE FALLS out of frame.

EXT. THE STREET - DAY

We're at GROUND LEVEL now...SMACK!!! THE CORPSE HITS THE
PAVEMENT and SHATTERS as though made of potter's clay. BONES
bounce over a wide area. THE SIGN is carried off by the WIND.
