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.)
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.
