Which 1985 Horror Movie Was Filmed on Sanibel Island?

Just in time for Halloween…

Do you remember the movie from 1985 called “Day of the Dead?”  It was the third installment of George Romero’s Horror trilogy that followed “Night of the Living Dead” and “Dawn of the Dead”… You can read more about it here at Day of the Dead.

Anyway, did you know that it was filmed in downtown Ft. Myers and right here on Sanibel Island?

It’s true.

We even have living proof in the fact that our very own Rob Coscia was an “extra” in the film!  He was a zombie and you can see him in the photo to the right immediately after they applied the makeup and were getting ready to shoot for the day… isn’t that funny?

So, you have to ask Rob next time you see him what it was like to be in a real Hollywood movie!

I just thought this was fun island trivia as we celebrate Halloween tomorrow…

So, have a fun Halloween weekend and don’t eat too much candy (oh, and watch out for any stray zombies out there, lol),
