Interesting tidbit about the story Thad is writing. I didn't know that.When you look at the start of The Dark Half you see young Thad Beaumont writing a story and first experiencing one of his strange headaches.

It is chosen of course because it has a miss Bird in it, and sparrows play an important role in the film.
The Dead films are often praised for their social commentary or satire, but Romero didn't actually see them like that. He said: “They’re more snapshots, it’s ‘this is my impression of what’s going on now’, and trying to put it into the films thematically, into the story.
