Dawn of the Dead rulez forever 💯👀🔨🍻🍻🍻 R.I.P. George a Romero + David Flyboy Emge 😢😢😢 greetings from Hamburg Germany 🍺🍺🍺

Lots of cool history in this mall!!! Thanks for sharing.

I lived not too far from that mall when i was a kid. We went oftenbit one time it was all fenced off so ya couldnt see what was going on. We found out later that they were filming "a" movie there, then found out it was THIS movie. It had a great record shop too

After watching this vid I decided to watch Dawn of the Dead, someone said why are they coming to the mall, the response was that it's what they used to do, the mall was an important place in their lives, that was a good answer

These days, zombies would wake from unconsciousness, immediately shuffle over to iPhone, and stare at the hypnotizing glow for endless hours. Wait…

Thank you so much!

The film was a great advert for the mall because the people turned the storeroom into a really cool house with the furniture, plants and TV set that came from the mall stores, and they had loads of fun playing the retro computer games

Awesome,Awesome,Awesome,thanks for another amazing video Ray !!!

Ray… we lived on this side of Pittsburgh for a few years and used to shop here. Thanks for posting! Side piece of info for you: another piece of this property that is the same from the movie is the rear two level entrance and the hill where the bikers came down from, also the same hill when the trucks came down to block that rear entrance. Most KZreadrs never capture that hill and the back out parcel. The out parcel building near the hill originally had an A&P grocery in the movie.

it's worth the trip!

I saw this in theater when it came out in the 70's. I was blown away because I had never seen anything like it before. Back than the camera always cut away from the violence or minimized it, but here it was graphicly shown. People weren't used to seeing that back then. I would never have thought it would become so famous.

Thanks for another awesome video. I've actually been to this mall fairly recently. I sure wish they'd kept the fountains and tropical plants, those pics were amazing!

I'll make sure to rewatch it with my wife over the next few days. Then I can point out the parts I seen in this video. I wonder what mall the remake was filmed in.🤔

I think it was a mall in Canada that is gone now

It's great to see them setting up a museum of the movie that was filmed there. More movie malls should've done the same. Just maybe it would've helped save them, or at least prolong their life a little bit more.

I agree. The malls where Stranger Things was filmed should be reopened as a tourist attraction and the mall where Back to the Future was filmed is a dead mall and the props are located in dead hallways.

I bought a pair of And1 sneakers there on a trip in 2000.

Another movie with a mall used is a crappy 80s movie called Chopping Mall. It was a couple of mall employees that stay behind after closing and the robot security goes haywire after an electrical storm or something. It's been a long time since I saw it (I was a kid) so I don't remember all the details.

That's another good one! That was filmed at Sheman Oaks Galleria in California, which was featured in several other movies

I live roughly 20-25 mins away from it. I have to look at the wall every time I'm there. Almost always park on the BestBuy side or the side with the wall. lol The Zombie walk is also a big thin that happens at the mall. Mind Hunter was also filmed in Pittsburgh Area. You were right. Some of it in Apollo PA, Vandergrift Area and a few more. They had the road I use to get to work closed while they filmed in the Diner in Apollo.

That mall was on the Angry Video Game Nerd when he showed all of the areas where the movie was filmed in

Great video! I'm planning on visiting there next month. Would you know where the gun store was in the mall? Or where the loading bay area was where they bring the trucks?

The gun store was actually shot somewhere else because there wasn't an actual gun store at the mall. The loading docks should be visible from the outside of the building.

@@RayOutThere Ah that's interesting to know, wonder where the gun store would have been. I'm guessing somewhere near the mall. I also heard that their hideaway area was on the 3rd level of JC Penney's which I guess is gone now too.

I heard you say you've only watched night of the living dead in b&w. They also have a color version. I'm not talking about the remake but the original remastered in color. Check it out.

@@RayOutThere Yep. I saw an interview with George Romero decades ago, that they agreed to the colorization so those involved in the making of Night could get some money out of it - since the original film distributor left the copyright notice off the film prints, it was assumed by others to be public domain and was copied and sold by many later distributors, home video companies, etc. with no money from those releases going to the creators of Night.

I have a peice of the metal elevator frame that is no longer there. To this day still a really nice Mall

Nice!

My then boyfriend and his biker buddies were asked to be in the film. They drive through a store, stealing stuff. My girlfriend and I went along to watch. They asked us if we wanted to be extras, but we thought we looked cute, and said no. Lol we were idiots.

Shame they got rid of the fountain/clock tower and all the internal trees/ponds etc. getting rid of those kind of things kills malls for me 😢 awesome to see it now though thank you 😊

Cool if they kept the car

Are you from around the area (i live about 20 minutes from the mall) or did you come into town specially to go to the location?

Spenser gifts is still in business i believe at the mall.

I've read that George showed a copy to Fred Rogers and he was afraid he wouldn't like it, but Mr. Rogers liked it and said it was pretend violence, like his make-believe land.

So is Eden Prairie next?

Maybe if I ever go out that way

As far as I am concerned there is only ONE Dawn of the Dead (the 1978 version). Whats up with all these remakes? I think it shows an extreme lack of creativity to constantly have to remake remake remake movies that were already GREAT and need NO improvement. I have always wanted to make the pilgrimage to that mall, doubtful I will ever get to do that now but I like seeing videos like this. Thanks

"I want my cake"

Remake ok
