#dawnofthedead #filminglocations #thenandnow
Dawn of the Dead is a 1978 zombie horror film written, directed, and edited by George A. Romero, and produced by Richard P. Rubinstein. An American-Italian international co-production, it is the second film in Romero's series of zombie films, and though it contains no characters or settings from the preceding film Night of the Living Dead (1968), it shows the larger-scale effects of a zombie apocalypse on society. In the film, a phenomenon of unidentified origin has caused the reanimation of the dead, who prey on human flesh. David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, and Gaylen Ross star as survivors of the outbreak who barricade themselves inside a suburban shopping mall amid mass hysteria.

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 💯💯💯💯
Thank you so much! That’s my goal is to have you guys feel like you’re there with me! Thanks for watching
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!
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.
Now gotta rewatch this movie. So awesome you did this!
Thank ya!
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!
Wow a lot of that stuff still there. Dawn of the dead is one of my favorite horror films. I remember seeing the film in theaters when I was a kid.
Ohh man! That would of been cool! Thanks for watching!
There's a guy who watched "Dawn of the dead " more than one time!🙂😉
Lol always!
thanks man..... this was really an eye opener for me...since watching Dawn in 2024, immediately wanted to see whats monroeville is now....Awesome
Thanks for watching! It was an interesting experience for sure.
I’m originally from monroeville, Pennsylvania and remember the mall as a child in the 1980s and 1990s
Don't knock it - the mall has its own keys!
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.
That’s awesome!!
That clock tower was the icon of the whole movie.They had a rough schedule. Could only film at night and early sunday mornings.There is one part you see a car driving in the background. OH,and Romero played the zombie santa.lol
I never knew that! Thanks for the info!
Dawn of the Dead rulez forever 💯👀🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨 R.I.P. David Flyboy Emge 😢😢😢 greetings from Hamburg Germany 🤘👍
Thank you for watching!
Those scenes with the army and possee shooting zombies gave the film an epic scale, great video man👍
Hey thanks for watching!
@@TheNashFiles and thankyou for great content 🙏👍
The mall was an Oxford Properties Mall when they filmed as well.... Nice shots!!!!
thanks.... like it
The army was the National Guard.... Great video brother!
Appreciate ya! Thanks for watching
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?
I’m not entirely sure off the top of my head. It’s been a while since I’ve watched that movie.
Fly boy zombie is the best ROMERO style zombie. He proves no need to run. lol
Lol that’s true
He said he was inspired by Lon Cheney in a movie he saw.Thats where flyboy got that awkward walk from as a zombie.
"Wake up, sucker! We're thieves and we're bad guys. That's exactly what we are!" 1978 Dawn Of The Dead
We've got to find our own way
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.
I think they do it during Living Dead Weekend which I think is in June. I’m not 100% sure.
George was supposed to actually make the original resident evil movie
But it never happened
Pretty sure he made a commercial for it
That would of been awesome!
@@TheNashFiles aye the commercial is on RUclips it stars Brad renfro and some other girl 👍
His entire script for Resident Evil is online!
Lamppost 30 doesn’t exist anymore, sadly. They tore it down recently. A new building was constructed in the area where it used to be, but lamppost 31 is still there.
Oh dang! I was there last year but jus the food court area. That sucks they took it down
@@TheNashFiles Yup. I was just there about a month ago, and visited all the same locations you did. Had to leave that place after 4:00 PM, though. 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.
Also, why didn’t you go to the Living Dead Museum on the 2nd floor? They’ve got awesome memorabilia from that place in there. I picked up a piece of the JC Penney escalator for my personal collection.
@@adam3797 dang! I didn’t realize it was that bad! Kinda glad I didn’t reshoot this video lol
@@adam3797 it should be on my channel, you’d jus have to look for it. I went a couple years ago and met the dude that plays the Machete Zombie
