Fright Tourism 2 and the Monroeville Mall

For part two of Fright Tourism I want to share the experience of visiting a shopping mall. Not just any mall but the Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania. I wasn't looking for a pair of shoes. I wanted to see the place for another famous zombie movie. (Notice how zombies are all the rage right now!).

Shot between 11 PM and Dawn, George Romero's second zombie movie was called "Dawn of the Dead" and was filmed in the Monroeville Mall.

So next time you are in Pittsburgh forget about the Duquesne Incline, the Carnegie Museums or Point State Park, head east on I 376 toward Monroeville and visit the Maul (get it).

If you take pictures, don't let the security catch you.
