    I would go for about 6 or 7 years old watching the original night and day with my dad. Probably watching night 90 when I was about 9. I wasn'ta huge horror buff but I always thought zombie movies were interesting. Sad to say I haven't seen the original Dawn yet but watching Dawn 04 when I was 14 because that's how old I was when it came out , land the year after I havent seen diaries or the day remake either. If anyone knows a site where I may be able to see the original Dawn, I'd be much appreciative.

    Just search for it on youtube. I'll bet you can find something there.

    I saw Night '90 once all the way through when I was about 16, and wasn't impressed. I actually rented it by accident, thinking it was the original.

    I saw Dawn in 1984 I was 12. My friend asked me if I wanted to see a really great
    movie and I said why not. Been a fan ever since.

    Saw Night a year later, with my friend again.

    My dad said since you liked Dawn you may like Creepshow he knew it was
    directed by George.

    I saw Day when I was 16 and
    Night 90 at the theater when I was 18,
    brought my then girlfriend (now my wife) to see
    it and she loved it. Now she's a big Dawn fan as well

    Ah. I was introduced to GAR in my early teens and it was an amazing experience. A big fan of resident evil my friend wanted me to come to his to watch a film he said was very much like dawn. So I went to his house in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing but hills and mist and watched dawn and I loved it. First thing I ever bought online was the Trilogy of the Dead from ebay. Still have it.

    Love of GAR has continued and been passed on several times.
    Why arent you laughing?

    Folks, we cannot let Ov3rlord be a virgin any longer.

    Ov3rlord, It is your sacred duty to immediately go to your local video store or Best Buy and either rent, buy or steal a copy of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead 1978. Then your assignment is to come back tommorrow morning and post your impressions about seeing it the first time.

    Ok, brother, don't steal it, I was kidding about that.

    Rusty, I almost envy him for the experience he is about to have. I remember my first time, and truthfully it was more memorable experience than when I really did actually lose my virginity!

    I first saw Night (original) on television when I was around 10 or 11. Then I rented it to watch it unedited. It was a spooky movie to me.

    I saw Dawn when I was in 10th grade I think with a buddy. He told me how it was a sequel to Night and we rented it and watched it after school one day. I was hooked!

    Shortly thereafter, we rented Day and watched that after school one day. I thought the trilogy was great!

    I think it was the following year Night 90 came out and I went with another buddy of mine to see it. I loved the look of the zombies in it. Still do.

    I saw Land at the theater with a neighbor of mine who was also a Romero fan.

    I rented Diary when it came out on dvd, because it was only showing in a theater about an hour away, in the sticks.
