DAY OF THE DEAD (The original script) by George A. Romero

THE HALLWAY is in chaos. TROOPERS run by, CRAZED CITIZENS flee
   in both directions. MARY HENRIED is stopped by A NURSE standing
   in AN OPEN DOORWAY.

            NURSE
      What is it? What's happening?

            MARY
      It's an evacuation signal. The radios
      are out. People are panicking.

            NURSE
      What should we do?

   MARY looks past THE NURSE into A ROOM where A GROUP OF
   CHILDREN, a dozen or so, ranging from twelve-years-old down to
   infancy, are huddled. Some are crying.

            MARY
      God. I, er...I dunno what to say. It      (Property
      could be a real evacuation or it could        of
      just be a glitch in the system. Wait        hotd.)
      here for now. I'll...I'll make sure you
      get the word what to do, okay?

            NURSE
      Please...hurry...

   MARY takes off down the hall.

135   INT. ENTRANCE SEVEN - NIGHT

   CLOSE ON: JULIE GRANT'S FACE, screaming, in agony, on the brink
   of insanity. THE ZOMBIES have reached her. They're started to
   pull at her arms, her legs. ONE BITES HER HAND, ANOTHER HER
   ARM, ANOTHER HER CALF.

   DOC LOGAN is watching from the control booth, all the while
   fiddling with BUTTONS, DIALS, LEVERS.

            LOGAN
      We'll be in Heaven soon. We'll all be
      in Heaven soon.
      (Julie's screams penetrate the fog in
      his brain. He frowns.)
      Pain. God forgive the pain inflicted by
      surgeons. We must atone. We must atone
      for our sins.

   His eye is attracted to A LARGE LEVER seemingly separate from
   everything else. It's marked: SIREN. He pulls it.

            LOGAN
      We must...atone. We must. Validation.

136   EXT. THE SIREN HORN - NIGHT

   Slowly, THE THROATY WAIL RISES and calls out over the jungle.
