A Dream Realized

While the 'experts' may disagree.... for years Mark has been telling anyone willing to listen that the greatest movie of all time is George Romero's "Dawn of Dead." (the original version realized in 1977). Last Friday, Mark put aside a great deal of unconscious fear and anxiety, drove out into the suburbs of eastern Pittsburgh and visited the legendary 'Monroeville Mall' - the site in which the vast majortiy of "Dawn of the Dead" was filmed. It was by all accounts a very powerful experience that left Mark shaken.... but undeniably satisfied by this epic expereince.


The home of Romero's Classic.


The roof on which Peter played tennis, Roger took target practice and Fran learned to fly.


The elevetor in which Steven tried in vain to fight off the living dead... only to be bitten and lead the undead upstairs.


The 'secret' hallway leading to the hideout upstairs.


Roger, should have been more careful.... much more careful when out getting the trucks with Peter.


Is Roger buried here.....?


For those of you interested... Romero has a new project in the works titled: "Diary of the Dead." This film will be released at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival in September.
