Nightcrawler, you've referenced one of my all-time favorite horror movies, although I still think that the original "Night of the Living Dead" was just a tad bit better more frightening.
To answer your question, an AR-15 with 6 to 12 30-round magazines, and a couple of 9mm pistols with several full-cap mags. each. Plus, a Kevlar jumpsuit so the ghouls couldn't bit through it. Three or four well-armed friends wouldn't hurt either...and extra underwear, because if I ever saw something like that, I'd probably loose all control for at least a short while.
BTW, here's a link to someone who is REALLY a fan of DOTD. It's a great website with lots of interesting facts and pictures from the movie.

Here's the address to another site dealing with George Romero's zombie flicks. Enjoy.

Reading "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal," by Ayn Rand, should be required of every politician and in every high school.
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined."
--Patrick Henry, during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution (1788)
