Carnival proceeds benefit the “Save the Evans City Cemetery Chapel” a fund raising effort to restore the cinematic landmark from the 1968 film classic, “Night of the Living Dead”. The mall was the film set location of the classic 1978 zombie horror film, “George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead.” Event hours are noon to 9 p.m.

“You can't kill something that's already dead,” says Monroeville Zombies President Kevin Kriess. “It's a line from a zombie movie, but it also describes our presence in the mall, we just keep coming back and all the while celebrating Pittsburgh and Monroeville's place in modern horror film history.”
