Night of the Living Dead Museum

I thought the 1968 George Romero Film Night of the Living Dead was really scary.

It was just before 2024 Christmas and my sister was visiting. We were near the Monroeville Mall to pick up a pair of shoes so why not check out this museum?

Some of the movie was filmed here at the mall. I treated.

If you’re a horror flick aficionado you need to visit.

Be right back in 15 minutes. We waited
We keep meaning to drive up to Evans City
Ghoul/ Zombie

“ Although the monsters that appear in the film are referred to as “ghouls“, they are credited with popularizing the modern portrayal of zombies in popular culture.”

Pittsburgh- Zombie Capital of the World

Thanks to George A. Romero and his classic Night of the Living Dead(1968).  Would you believe I missed the recent Zombie Fest in Downtown Pittsburgh the first week of October?  That is what Zaq told me as I asked him about his shirt he was sporting on the South Side.  I had just been to the Post Office and was headed for a slice of pizza at Blue Grotto and I stopped on the sidewalk and asked if I could photograph him in his shirt for the blog.  Sure!  I asked him where he got the Pittsburgh Zombie Capital of the World T-shirt and he said, ” The Monroeville Mall!”  That is where they used to hold the Zombie Fest.  I regret that I missed the Zombie Prom I was invited to a few years ago.  I know I could have gotten some great shots.  But here is Zaq (with a Q) on Carson Street and he said I could blog his shirt, with him in it.  Thank you Zaq!  And thanks to your friend who was with you.  I should have taken him with you.

I see the most interesting people and scenes on Carson Street in the South Side.
