George Romero made this film to as a comment of mindless consumerism in society. Here we see the zombies going to the mall and it is said they go there because it’s the place they always were in a previous life. A light-hearted piece of music is also played to make the zombies seem less threatening and the scene funnier. The music used in this scene is contrapuntal and goes against what would usually be expected of music in a scene like this. In the 1970’s malls were also beginning to open and people were flocking to them like mindless drones just like the zombies are doing.
