Land of the Dead and Empire of the Dead are also direct sequels.

I mean, aside from Diary and Survival, none of the films have any character or story through line aside from "the dead are rising and eating people" and offering social commentary. But they can fit neatly on the same timeline. Zombies start rising > zombies start overrunning everything > zombies have overrun everything, people are forced into hiding > people start to adapt more and carve out a place and rebuild society in part of a major city > a major (albeit different) city is almost completely reclaimed and there's more of a semblance of normalcy, zombies still pose a threat but are mostly kept in check (plus vampires are there).

Even more than that.

Dawn of the Dead

Day of the Dead

Land of the Dead

Diary of the Dead (slight update/parallel story, kinda using Marvel Comics' "sliding timescale" rules; supposed to take place at the same time as the original movie)

Survival of the Dead

Empire of the Dead (official sequel comic written by Romero, with direct ties to the original movie; also introduces vampires to the series)
