Sounds like a great event. I still remember those movies back in the day.

Evans City is 25 min. from where I live. Romero also filmed "The Crazies" there in 1973. I worked on the remake of Night of the Living Dead in 91. It was filmed in Hopewell Twp. Pa. It was directed by horror makeup Master,Tom Savini. He played the character,"Sex Machine" in the movie "From Dusk Till Dawn". He also did the makeup for Dawn of the Dead(original) and created Jason Vorhees. Monroeville is 35 minutes away. Most people complain about bugs....here...it's zombies...LoL...!
