I’m from Pittsburgh and live with a half hour of the mall. I got to visit the old airport before it got torn down. Been to all the filming locations more times than I can count lol. Even been on the roof of the mall a few times. I’m so happy you got visit and see everything. Dawn of the Dead is one of my favorite movies ever. I don’t know if you been there, but you’re close to Evans City where Night of the Living Dead was filmed. Great video brother!

Hey! Thanks for watching! Did they finally tear down the airport? Last I heard they were talking about it. I actually did a NOTLD locations video as well! Should be in my filming locations playlist. Thanks again! I see by your profile photo you met Grimm Life! Great peeps!

12:05. Easy one. I immediately remember this is where they showed the zombies wandering, stumbling in and around the doors as the professor was explaining their characteristics like he was narrating a documentary we were watching, before we find out that he was on a "Heraldo" like, talk show. Clever montage.

I believe the cars they used on display in the mall were a VW Scirocco and a Monza! So funny... what a genuine genius George was! Writer/Director/Editor/Zombie (he was in a few shots in Night/Dawn & Day). He moved to Toronto and died there and from anyone I have ever spoken to who interacted with him or his crew he was stated to be the most humble and unassuming soul one would encounter. I never had the pleasure to meet George. I have lived and worked from Quebec to Vancouver Island and also have lived and worked in about 11 of the lower 48 States as well as Hawaii which is the 50th State. The interesting thing is that wherever George was (on any given day) people always say the same things about him. My dad is a WWII veteran from the RCN (Halifax Nova Scotia) and is still with us and "Pennsylvania Dutch". He has duel citizenship but we are all in Alberta Canada now. So nice that you made this montage. BTW I absolutely love Pennsylvania. I spent many fantastic visits there from the years 2007 to 2013 (about that time - forgive me as I am pushing 60 and the mind is effected by eating out of all those aluminum pots - LOL) visiting my cousin in Pittsburgh. Wow what a fantastic State with super interesting people. Cheers!

I'm glad you experienced this dude. I know I probably won't ever do anything like this but the fact that you did almost feels like you went for me. I bet everyone who watched this felt the same way, awesome video man 💯💯💯💯

My son and I came up from Georgia yesterday, 6/9/23, just to see the mall. To our surprise it was Living Dead Weekend. Talk about being at the right place at the right time. We met Ken Foree (Peter) and Gaylen Ross (Fran). Scott Reiniger and Tom Savini were here also, but we didn’t talk with them. We were there all day today too. They had tours of filming locations which we didn’t participate in. I’ve watched the movie at least twice a year since I first saw it back in 1981. Although we didn’t find everything that you did, we were able to locate many of the locations that you showed just from talking to workers of the Living Dead Museum and from my memories of the movie. It was like a scavenger hunt. We had a great time. We also drove out to West Middletown Cemetery which was the filming location of the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead. Great job with the video.

He said he was inspired by Lon Cheney in a movie he saw.Thats where flyboy got that awkward walk from as a zombie.

Do you know if they still have an annual tour with some of the cast? If they have one in 2023 I’m so down to go.

It was Saturday, and that place started getting REAL sketch with all the local thugs and teenagers coming out of the woodwork. That mall isn’t enforcing its curfew at all. Fights still break out at that place almost every weekend. It’s sad.
