As usual i was teary eyed watching this then and now location from the movie Dawn of the by George A. Romero. Here in the Philippines the film was shown in 1979. I had sleepless nights upon watching it. I was 19 years old wayback. Now i'm turning 63. Thanks for this video. It made me younger again.❤❤❤

I am completely blown away right now. This is the most awesome filming location video I have ever seen. As a lifelong fan of Dawn of the Dead (1978) and George Romero’s dead films, this was such an exciting and entertaining experience. The level of details and effort that you put into finding the exact shot locations is astonishing and it makes the experience even more thrilling. And seeing the Living Dead Museum was truly incredible as well. I’m from Hawaii and most likely will never get to visit the Monroeville Mall in PA so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video for the fans. And I know you’re a true fan too so it’s like getting to see these locations with a buddy. Thanks again Tampa Jay!

Thank you buddy I truly appreciate it. I spent most of the weekend inside of that mall. It is such a classic film! I love your handle there, Packanack. That’s definitely a Friday the 13th part two reference. I was just standing on that same property where the lodge used to sit, as I was tracking down those filming locations.

Hi,many thanks for your presentation. It so great to see that.I live in Austria (middle of Europe) You can imagine it is to hard to go on location. I am a great fan of DOTD or other Romero movies. In the year 1981, I was 15 and saw it at the first time. However, in German the move called ZOMBIE and the italien movie „Zombi“ is the name in German - Woodoo , Schreckensinsel der Zombies. I have a lot of different version of DODT. But I believe you have also different versions. Greeting from Austria (Österreich)

I grew up in murrysville, i was 6 when that mall opened and have tons of memories of hangin out there. Two girls from my neighborhood where used as extras in the movie, all you had to do was show up in your own make-up and costume. If you looked dead they chose you for a couple of shots, mostly the exterior scenes. Really cool seeing it in the screen shots. I still have pictures taken in that photo booth in 1980, and can remember how weird it was using those bathrooms after we all saw the movie....creepy hallway. Great video and since i live near tampa now let me say ... Go Rays...and Lightning

I remember going there in the 00's. Ended up picking up a mall directory and brought it to a convention to get signatures. I remember the staffer at Ken Foree's table got really excited and said "sign the JC Penny's!" :D Sadly the older zombie museum had closed/moved and there wasn't really anything zombie themed there at the time. I think I'm going to try to make a trip back this summer.

Almost earie seeing how grown-over the old locations are with trees etc, the fences now thrown up around the old airport and the loss of the boat-station building structures. Good to see the Mall and Boiler power-station still going strong though. Great little piece of motion picture heritage. I can actually recall someone posting on a George E. Romero zombie fictional story site about that airport you visited back in the late 1990s and I think even then the pumps were gone but the fence wasn't yet installed, as he'd gone gone inside the property to take exterior pictures of the office building.

Wow! This is by far the most comprehensive video out there on the topic of Monroeville Mall filming locations in DOTD. As a side note… little piece of history… when I worked for JCPenney in the early 2000s, we would have our regional meetings here at the original location in the center of the mall. I remember wanting to slide down the center of the escalators like Roger did. But they had installed these little nubs all along the descent to keep people like me from doing just that. Also, I remember talking to an old mall guard who had worked there back in the 70s during the filming of DOTD. I asked him about the skating rink (which is now the food court), and he told me that the original machinery that used to keep the ice from melting is still under the floor of the food court. When the machinery broke back in the 80s, and it became too expensive to repair, the mall opted to put a food court in over top of it without removing the original mechanics.
