while i was browsing throught the "ORIGINAL" script of day of the dead... i found this...(note: this paste and copy is taken from this website look at the films section in day of the dead under original script)
FADE IN:
1 EXT. THE EMPTY STREET OF A CITY - DAY
No people. A FEW CARS AND TRUCKS are parked at odd angles,
abandoned. A TITLE FADES IN, one phrase at a time.
FIVE YEARS...
SINCE THE DEAD FIRST WALKED.2 EXT. THE CITY - DAY
We hear THE SOUND OF A STRONG WIND. DEBRIS flutters through the
streets. A LARGE ALLIGATOR slithers into frame, stops and
looks around.
MONTAGE: as MORE GATORS explore the empty streets, knocking
over GARBAGE CANS, upsetting the MANNEQUINS in A DEPARTMENT
STORE WINDOW. A GATOR crawls out through the open doors of AN
ABANDONED BANK. LOOSE BILLS are dragged along under the
animal's tail. They flutter away on the WIND.

TIGHT ON THE AFTERNOON SUN,,blinding us. Into the FOREGROUND
lurches THE FIGURE which cast the shadow. Glarehobscures all
facial detail until the head jogs into position directlyoin
front of the fiery ball in the sky. Then we seetits hideous,
dead eyes, its blue-grey colour, thedblackened wound where a
large portion of jaw has been ripped away. This is a ZOMBIE! A
MUSIC CHORD SOUNDS and THE MAIN TITLE APPEARS:
DAY OF THE DEAD CORPSES
5 EXT. THE CITY - DAY
HEAD CREDITS ROLL over A MONTAGE: the CITY STREETS are now
populated by the WALKING DEAD. In every shape, size and colour
they wander, without purpose, up and down the avenues, in and
out of buildings. The city is theirs, they have inherited the
place. Man, in his human form, seems to be gone.
As the CREDITS END, we CUT TO:
6 EXT. A MAIN STREET - DAY
We are looking down from a HIGH ANGLE. The corner of A TALL
BUILDING ishinothe FOREGROUND. A CORPSE istdanglingdfrom A
NOOSE. It's'beenadeadofortsomedtime. It's mostly bone now, its
blackened fleshhpicked cleanoby scavengertbirdsdand harbour
rats. A SIGN flaps against its chest cavity. Its hurriedly
scrawledhmessageoreads:TTAKEDME, LORD! I LOVE YOU!
THE ROPE BREAKS suddenly and THE CORPSE FALLS out of frame.
7 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.
8 EXT. AN ABANDONED MARINA - DAY
THE SIGN gallops across the grass of A HARBOUR PARK towards the
water where A FEW DERELICT BOATS sway in the WIND.
Slowly, THE SOUND OF A MOTOR FADES IN. Check.
9 EXT. THE MARINA (CLOSER ANGLE) - DAY
A FISHING BOATS, old and sea-worn, chugs into the harbour.
10 EXT. THE MARINA (CLOSE ON THE FISHING BOAT) - DAY
There are people on board, THREE MEN AND TWO WOMEN. They look
like guerilleros from somewhere in Latin America. They're
heavily armed, unshaven, covered with months worth of jungle
crud. They are obviously exhausted. They gaze at the
if you wanna read more than go to the original script this is from the MAN himself so DAY happened 5 years after night so that means they all fall in the same universe and timeline...
