Monroeville Mall's set to transform into a zombie graveyard this weekend - from June 8-10, 2018 - for a three-day epic celebration of the 40th Anniversary of *Dawn of the Dead,* filmed at the mall.

So, get ready for an action-packed weekend filled with activities. Join other fans on tours of the Monroeville Mall, including some locations that are off-limits to shoppers, that appeared in the iconic film. Each tour will be led by Lawrence DeVincentz, a well-known film location expert.

And, plan to meet some of your favorite celebrities, including those who starred in *Dawn of the Dead*. (Forty celebs are scheduled to be on hand, one for each year since the *Dawn of the Dead* premiered.)

Celebrities set to appear include Christine Romero, Greg Nicotero, Charles Gordon, and Eugene Clark.

Of course, the film *and* the weekend wouldn't be possible without the late George A. Romero. The weekend's festivities include the unveiling of Romero's bust at the mall on Friday, June 8, at 1 p.m.

But, that's not all. Check out the movie exhibits, such as the *Dawn of the Dead* elevator doors.

And, join the Paul Musser Airport Zombie Live Make-up Event and the VIP Mixer Party. Panels and Q&A sessions will also be held throughout the weekend.

Daily and weekend passes are available. The weekend kicks off at noon on Friday, June 8, 2018.
