- In the tenement scene there's a woman trying to get past a cop to get to her husband, Miguel, despite the fact that he's clearly a zombie. Not only does she end up bitten after running to him, but Miguel is killed in front of her again. Given what happens to those who get bitten, she probably spent her last moments not only in agonizing pain, but grieving her husband. Goes to show how hard it really is for people to accept that once their loved ones are zombies, they really are gone and it still hurts to see them killed despite that.
- Really the fact that people are so wound up about killing zombies because they were people they knew in life. The fact that they cannot accept that they really are gone and are a mere husk of their former selves is why the situation got so bad in the first place.
- Peter being forced to shoot the two zombie children and his reaction to it. From the expression on his face, one can tell that he is both saddened and disturbed that those children died and reanimated in the first place, and that he was forced to shoot kids.
- Roger seeking reassurance from Peter that they won against the zombies...you can tell that not only is he desperate to believe that his efforts to claim the mall for them and his death won't have been for nothing in the end, but that his mental state is already deteriorating due to the infection. The fact that a somber part of Pierre Arvay's "Sonata" is playing during this scene emphasizes that Rodger will eventually die and he knows it will be agonizing."We whipped them AND WE GOT IT ALL!"
- The deaths of Roger and Stephen.
- Roger's death was somber; he rose up as a zombie after dealing with his infection for days as Stephen and Francine were watching society crumble in front of their very eyes. After he was given a Mercy Killing by Peter, he was buried and given a moment of silence.
- Stephen really got it bad; unlike Roger, he died alone after being swarmed by zombies in an elevator and was practically torn apart, only avoiding being devoured by using his last reserves of strength to push his attackers out, with the elevator doors then closing shut and leaving him inside to bleed to death. Francine never got to say goodbye to him, and she almost tried to go back for him.
- During the iconic "no more room in hell" line, the survivors debate why the ghouls are so desperate to get in the mall. Peter rationalizes that it's not their flesh they are after, but mainly because they remember this place from when they were alive. It's sad to know that something as trivial as going to a shopping mall could consume a poor soul during their state of living death, and serves as a reminder that they were once human like the rest of us.
