This.  And why care now?

Because I once read a "chronology" of the series on a message board that mixed around the order of the entire Dead series to explain how each film depicts the same zombie apocalypse. They put Diary of the Dead taking place congruently with Night of the Living Dead, and I thought that was ludicrous and it got me thinking about the assumption that it's the same event and how there is little or no evidence to support that.

This was 20 years before every genre film was automatically assumed to be part of a trilogy. I think the time discrepancy is just a non-issue.

Again, this was after the entire Planet of the Apes franchise, so I don't know where you get this idea.
