Movie Addicts. Celeb Dishers. Gamers. We're All Here.

No, seriously! It’s TRUE! I can scarcely believe it myself, and if I were actually looking to go to Pennsylvania any time soon I’d swing by just for the sheer coolness factor involved here. You see, the mall where they shot Dawn of the Dead–the original, not that second-rate suck-farm that was the remake–is an actual mall. It’s called the Monroeville Mall, and it’s located in Monroeville, Pennsylvania.

It’s said that many of the original features–like wall displays, and of course the fountain–can still be found in full operational condition in the Monroeville Mall, and this lends a special and very unique opportunity to see a piece of horror film history first-hand. Which is why it makes especial sense to note that the HorrorHound Weekend crew will be putting on the first-ever showing of Dawn of the Dead at the Monroeville Mall.

There are of course several other reasons to go see this sucker–check out this quote describing the upcoming festivities:

The Dawn of the Dead screening will take place where the Monroeville Mall’s old clock tower once stood, on a 50-foot screen, which will take over the Mall after closing time, Saturday June 21st, as over 500 fans pack this special section of the Mall, right down the hall from Time and Space Toys’ brick and mortar location, Toy Galaxy (who helped bring this event together), where refreshments will be available. Admission to this special screening is available at the HorrorHound Weekend event - located across the street, inside the Pittsburgh ExpoMart - for a modest $5 - all proceeds of which will be donated to the Make-a-Wish Foundation! ToeTag Pictures will be doing zombie make-up on guests all day leading up to the screening to help make this evening all the more memorable, as over ten “Dawn” alumni will be on-hand during the screening to ensure the night’s authenticity.

All the reason you ever needed to go to Pennsylvania. And before you pack your bags, try the Dead series trivia on Kwanzoo!
