I have to agree with you on this one. Night was not only more atmospheric, it was more of a horror film than Dawn. Dawn, in my opinion, seemed to almost fall into the action category, and it actually took the zombie films away from the horror genre. This could be the reason that I'm not a huge fan of zombie films.
I think to, for some odd reason, when horror films were filmed in black and white, they were much creepier than the ones we now have in color. Maybe it's just the sense that you can't actually see everything?
Carnival Of Souls (1962) is better than Night Of The Living Dead (1968). Yes, I know that Carnival is where Romero got the influence and idea to create Night, but that isn't why. I personally found Carnival Of Souls to be a bit scary, even though it wasn't as disturbing as some I've seen.
I'm sure a lot of people disagree with me on this, but when I think about when I watched Carnival Of Souls for the first time, I still get disturbing images pop into my head.
