It's not just you, it makes no sense whatsoever. Fulci himself said

"Originally, the child ran towards the camera and we cut to the two adults smiling to themselves. That was it, a happy ending. One day i was in the editing room, and we watched the footage of the adults who were arguing in the shot- they didn't get along. So we cut to the little boy running and cut back to the footage of them arguing. But in that shot, there was an aberration on the film where it looked like the image started to break up. So we used that. Now it's not a happy ending."

There you go the ending is by mistake.:)

No problem bud, you can get loads of in depth info on Lucio Fulci's living dead films from a book i have called: Eaten Alive, Italian Cannibal & Zombie Movies. It's well worth picking up.:)

Thanks for the info. I'm a big Fulci fan. I'll have to pick that up. Fulci was definitely more into visuals sometimes.
When I was younger I liked that movie "The Gates of Hell" just for the gore. Now I watch City of the Living Dead and think the movie is amazing!
