Another movie reference, and thankfully the last nod to Romero's work in this list. However, it's just too cool not to point it out.

At the end of the first movie, Alice stumbles out of a lab into the decimated streets of Raccoon City. Before the camera pans out to show us the destruction the city has faced, a newspaper headline reads "THE DEAD WALK!" to remind us of what we're watching.

Which is exactly the same headline seen on a newspaper at the beginning of 1985's Day of the Dead, the third in Romero's original trilogy, showing another city laid to waste by the undead.
