Love your channel and your Dawn of the Dead video. Really good job. How can I get a "Say good night Creep" refrigerator magnet. Are those for sale on the internet? Would love to get one of those. Thsnks for posting it. Have a great day everyone.
As usual i was teary eyed watching this then and now location from the movie Dawn of the by George A. Romero. Here in the Philippines the film was shown in 1979. I had sleepless nights upon watching it. I was 19 years old wayback. Now i'm turning 63. Thanks for this video. It made me younger again.❤❤❤
I watched another film location of this exact movie and it wasn't even close to the number of different shots as you have here. Well done.
Thanks Adam

His name is grimmlifecollective.
He's good at what he does whereas he recently did an excellent Conjuring House video I enjoyed but just in this particular film location, he didn't spend as much time on it as Tampa Jay is all.
@@pfmdude Ah nice. I just checked yours out. Not bad considering you're mostly a music guy. You got a nice voice to go with the vid though. Very clear.
I am completely blown away right now. This is the most awesome filming location video I have ever seen. As a lifelong fan of Dawn of the Dead (1978) and George Romero’s dead films, this was such an exciting and entertaining experience. The level of details and effort that you put into finding the exact shot locations is astonishing and it makes the experience even more thrilling. And seeing the Living Dead Museum was truly incredible as well. I’m from Hawaii and most likely will never get to visit the Monroeville Mall in PA so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video for the fans. And I know you’re a true fan too so it’s like getting to see these locations with a buddy. Thanks again Tampa Jay!
Thank you buddy I truly appreciate it. I spent most of the weekend inside of that mall. It is such a classic film! I love your handle there, Packanack. That’s definitely a Friday the 13th part two reference. I was just standing on that same property where the lodge used to sit, as I was tracking down those filming locations.
Perfectly executed!!! No goofy voices, dumb jokes or babbling. Not to mention an interview with a zombie! Thanks a million from Boston!!!
Great video, Jay! Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely fantastic! Best dawn of the dead filming locations video ever! Thanks for the leg work!
Another great video Tampa Jay.
Thanks Don this was a fun one to create I’m a big fan of Romero

WOW!!!! i am a DOTD Fan since more then 40 Years, and thats the first time a realy can imagine the Monroeville Mall! Living in Switzerland.. this is my bigest dream to come 1 time to this amazing place! Thank you for the review
Hey, Jay- welcome to my old neighborhood! I love Pittsburgh and the sounding area. I lived one turnpike exit away for 25 years and shopped at the Monroeville Mall and visited while they were filming this movie! RIP George- you made Pittsburgh proud! Jay,!I bet you’ll be driving by my former house 🏠 n your way to Evans City and “the” cemetery! Welcome to the “ Burgh”!
Your location movies are the most wholesome videos out there, I love your energy and your excitement is contagious
@@marypettyfer4640 And you know some awesome facts has been stated whenever he says "There you go."
Yes absolutely 😃I accidentally removed my comment I still agree 😂😂
Thank you so much it’s an exciting time for me when I track down filming location, especially for this one. Happy you enjoyed it
As I am writing this, I am in Monroeville after traveling six hours from NJ in order to see the Monroeville Mall (I had lunch in the foodcourt/ice rink today). Tomorrow it's off to Evans City to go to the cemetery. Thank you posting the name of the airfield. I asked around and found it down that old abandoned road. Your video is excellent.
It’s cool that some 70’s remnants are still there!
HEY, TAMPA JAY What's going on...

Great Movie and a great Trip, thx Jay :-)
My uncle worked there in the early 80s lol he even was on set when this was being filmed....this is my favorite movie....in 2014 i met George A Romero....great job filming this!!
I've seen a few videos detailing the locations and this by far is the most detailed. I love stuff like this. I'd love to visit the mall one day and if I go I'll use this as a guide.
Thanks Chris I hope you get to visit the mall someday
I love love love your location videos and they are always done with such detail and care. Amazing work
Great job, Tampa Jay, lining up all of those shots! That's pretty cool that they made a museum as well.
I love this film so much. Excellent tour, thank you!
Wow!! This was so much fun. Thank you for doing this. The museum was amazing.
Great work on this. I love these kinds of flash back/forward vids. I grew up watching DOD on Betamax.
Great Job as usual Jay. I love your comparison shots of then and now which really help identify each filming location. I have enjoyed all of your filming location videos, but this one is one of my favorites, I also love Pittsburgh too, so much movie history along with being a great sports town.
As a big fan of Dawn of the Dead, I want to thank you for putting your time and energy in making this video. I like how you made the photo comparisons from your smartphone and especially liked the living dead museum/store.
Went there last month for the first time it was nothing short of awesome, thanks for making this guide. Big thumbs up. Subscribed!
Great video really enjoyed it thanks for taking the time to do.
Thank you so much for making such a well researched and in depth look at the filming locations. I just finished watching Dawn for the umpteenth time and I wondered what Monroeville looked like today.
I am currently watching this video on my tv, absolutely love this video it’s the most accurate and up to date video and I love it, thank you for doing this it means a lot to me, I hope to go there one day but it’s a long way from england, I know this film word for word and now my children are watching it with me, once again thank you for this brilliant video I am jealous.
I don't know why I hadn't written more..this is THE very best location scout video on the net of dawn..another couple of guys did a great one but it's not as clear as this one. There's no then and now like this one..this is just a fan dream..for me I'll never get to come there in my lifetime so without this I just would never realise a look at this place...so thankyou so much for a great video..brilliant.
Good detective work on this video TJ. Thanks for another great video
Great filming locations video Jay. 🙂👍
This was so awesome! Well-done. I can tell it was a lot of work!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
Super Awesome, brother! Love your excitement and happiness! I totally am the same way! Thank you for all of your hard work! 🥳🤘
Great video!! Thanks for sharing! 💯
Wow, another awesome video, I live in the western suburbs of Pittsburgh and I'm told some of the movie was filmed out here too. Keep up the great work on these, so much info.
Excellent Vid Jay! I know it's exciting finding the 'match-up' spots...
This was great. Very thorough. The shot matching was awesome.
Thanks Josh
This is absolutely one of the coolest videos I have ever seen thank you so much for doing this. So jealous I would love to go there
Thanks so much glad to hear you enjoyed it
Very cool, Love to see these locals, and what alot of work you put into this! Well done!
Thank you for this awesome video! Great job covering all the areas with the screen shots, totally amazing! I really appreciate your videos, this will always be my favorite among all the Dead films 🧟♂️❤️🧟♀️
Very cool. I was in Pittsburgh 2 years ago and had wanted to check this mall out. Glad to see the museum is in the mall again. It was off site for a few years. Thanks for doing this video. Nice work. :)
I was writing to say hello and I’m glad you are doing great in my home town.
Great tour as always! Definitely a true classic movie. -S
This video definitely stands right along side your “Follow That Dream” video as a favorite for me! Your attention to detail is unmatched! Great job!
Thanks man I had such a great time making both of those
This is the best and most comprehensive video I've seen regarding this movie. Your attention to detail and demonstrative narrative put this over the top.
Great work, my friend, I have subscribed. Please keep up the good work.
Your videos just keep getting better and better, thanks for all you do
Thanks buddy
Nice video John! I grew up there - good stuff.
Always a great job Jay. Keep being awesome dude😊
OMG DUDE!!! Your video is one of the best match ups I’ve seen! Well done!
Thanks Jefff
i really liked this video. it made me to remember the best moments of the movie. i´d like to visit that place one day!!
That's amazing to watch...and it really hasn't changed that much from what you've shown from then until now..and think that was 44yrs ago when that was made brilliant film.
This was awesome. Thank you. I saw one of these done back when Penneys was still there, but not as detailed with the current and movie shots correlated. One day, I'm visiting this mall with the Goblin soundtrack blaring as I check it out
Amazing work! I really enjoyed this.
Best location video I've seen, was so good with all the different shoots and information you gave, was so good I felt like I was there with you, Thanks for making this!
Thanks Dan glad you enjoyed it man
Great documentary Jay!
Awesome work, thank you for doing this
Brilliant walkthrough and commentary- keep up the good work from 🇬🇧
Thanks so much Mitch! I appreciate you stopping by
I grew up in murrysville, i was 6 when that mall opened and have tons of memories of hangin out there. Two girls from my neighborhood where used as extras in the movie, all you had to do was show up in your own make-up and costume. If you looked dead they chose you for a couple of shots, mostly the exterior scenes. Really cool seeing it in the screen shots. I still have pictures taken in that photo booth in 1980, and can remember how weird it was using those bathrooms after we all saw the movie....creepy hallway. Great video and since i live near tampa now let me say ... Go Rays...and Lightning
Dude, you put a lot of work into this and it shows! Bravo my friend, bravo!
All the work you put into this!! Amazing!!!
Thanks so much Lucy. I had such a great time making this one.
I work at the hotel in the mall complex and go to Monroeville Mall all the time. I knew SOME of the locations, but I had no idea of how many mall locations there were in the movie. Great video! Monroeville Mall and the skating rink were also mentioned in Steven King's novel "Christine" (but not in the movie).
Thx for that, that was awesome. My family n I will be going to Pittsburg in July for a family vacay n we’ll definitely be going to the Monroeville mall.
Xcellent work,hands down the best on u tube!!!
Thanks Meo appreciate that a ton
Wow! This is by far the most comprehensive video out there on the topic of Monroeville Mall filming locations in DOTD. As a side note… little piece of history… when I worked for JCPenney in the early 2000s, we would have our regional meetings here at the original location in the center of the mall. I remember wanting to slide down the center of the escalators like Roger did. But they had installed these little nubs all along the descent to keep people like me from doing just that. Also, I remember talking to an old mall guard who had worked there back in the 70s during the filming of DOTD. I asked him about the skating rink (which is now the food court), and he told me that the original machinery that used to keep the ice from melting is still under the floor of the food court. When the machinery broke back in the 80s, and it became too expensive to repair, the mall opted to put a food court in over top of it without removing the original mechanics.
Hey man...this was...FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for doing this. DOTD is my all time favorite movie so this was a real treat for me. It never occurred to me this Mall was still open, and I didn't know about the museum. George would be proud of this. Thank you and take care.
Glad you enjoyed it thank you for watching. The best.Zombie movie ever!
Love your filming location videos! You do a very thorough job.
Thanks Brady appreciate you
Awesome vdo !!!! Just lovin' it 🔥🔥🔥👏👍👌
Thank you!
You put a lot of work into this one. Good job!👍💕😊
Awesome man great job
Man...this was such a good video...and again..."Dawn Of The Dead" (1978) my favourite of the original trilogy...It's so handy to have your phone to line-up the shots needed to emphasize the exact filming spots inside and outside the mall....
This is an awesome video I liked all the shots and details and the interview with the actor and museum is fantastic I wish I could go see it I am in CA to far for me to go.
Interview with a zombie and the museum , very cool . I hope I can go check that out one day .
I'm from Port Richey, but I live in Irwin now. 15 min from Monroeville. I love your channel.
Tampa Jay - Thanks a bunch for this video! I was in Pittsburgh this weekend and ventured over to Monroeville to check out the mall. Your video really helped me nail down some points of interest that would have been tough to find on my own. I visited the Living Dead Museum; for $8, not bad at all. The guy working there (no more than 30 yrs old) knew a ton about the movie; in particular, he pointed out the location of the bank in the movie...now a tax prep service of some sort. However, along with so many other indoor shopping centers across America, Monroeville Mall has seen its best days and I doubt it will be open five years from now. Several stores are closed/vacant and it looked like more people went there for their daily walking exercise than for shopping.
I'm a native of Monroeville and you're correct; the mall is going downhill. It's still well maintained, but the vacancies are up, and the number of shoppers is down. Back in the 70's and 80's, you had to park on the outskirts of the lot to get a space. Today, you can practically park in the first few rows of spaces most of the way around the mall.
That was so cool man thanks for the video. Long live all dotd fans
This was great thankyou🖒
Great video jay,thanks for the tour,DOTD is without a doubt the greatest zombie movie of all time! 🧟♀️🛒🧟♂️
Absolutely love your videos Jay
Thank you Stephanie
Wow you really went into detail! I can definitely appreciate this. I did a DOTD location last year but wasn’t in this much detail lol great video!
Thanks man it was a fun time exploring the mall for my first time I’m a big fan of the movie too
Really really great work! Thank you
Thank you so much ! Appreciate you watching. One of the best weekends I ever had.
That museum is just fantastic. Long may it remain open. Please visit.. Wish I could. I'm unfortunate to live in England.
Tampa I cannot think of anything else to say except exceptional video THANKYOU ❤🙏
Thank you Mary :)
Another masterpiece awesome video!
Thank you
Excellent experience 👏
Hi,many thanks for your presentation. It so great to see that.I live in Austria (middle of Europe) You can imagine it is to hard to go on location. I am a great fan of DOTD or other Romero movies. In the year 1981, I was 15 and saw it at the first time. However, in German the move called ZOMBIE and the italien movie „Zombi“ is the name in German - Woodoo , Schreckensinsel der Zombies. I have a lot of different version of DODT. But I believe you have also different versions.
Greeting from Austria (Österreich)
I loved the ice skating rink. This iui s an awesome visit to the mall
Such a good location video! Good job, great attention to detail!
Thank you so much it was a fun one to create
Love Dawn of the Dead. Great stuff!
Well done. Best DOTD filming location video I’ve ever seen.
Thanks so much for joining me! Happy you enjoyed it
Thanks so much for joining me! Happy you enjoyed it
that dumb biker checking his blood pressure in the film, always cracks me up. great video, tampa jay. 🙂👍
Thanks TJ! AWESOME journey back in time! I love, love, LOVE then & now movie locations!! Especially with your spin on things! I'm just over by Winchester (Indiana), coming my way this trip? If u do, I got friends in low places, I can take you for a few laps around the track! Check out the SRX RACE nxt wknd at Eldora Speedway. I'm gonna try n go! Not sure tho, Im going thru a battery of tests as my Doc suspects I may have M.S.! Im growing weaker by the day. I dont get out much by myself much cause of not walking well & poor balance! Im trynna do as much as I can, I dont want ANY regrets if I end up in a chair!
Stay safe! God🙏Bless & maybe see u soon?
Brian
✌️😊
Un superbe vidéo franchement BRAVO!
nice video, "dawn" is my all time fave zombie movie, i got to meet the actor that played the hare krishna zombie a few years ago, really nice guy...i think this is the 3rd video ive seen of yours, and yours are by far some of the best ive seen...
Dude..... excellent job ! I’ve been a fan of this movie since 1986 .... you’ve nailed this location ! I’ve seen SO MANY location videos of the mall. You have surpassed those BIG TIME !🚁🧟♀️🧟🧟♂️🧟🧟♀️🧟🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟🧟♀️ 🚁
Thanks buddy I
enjoyed making this one so much big fan of Romero
Great video Jay! One of my favorite Horror films.
Thanks buddy
Awesome video Jay! This is my favorite zombie movie of all time. I knew I could outrun these zombies not the super sprinting zombies I of later movies....lol
I remember going there in the 00's. Ended up picking up a mall directory and brought it to a convention to get signatures. I remember the staffer at Ken Foree's table got really excited and said "sign the JC Penny's!" :D Sadly the older zombie museum had closed/moved and there wasn't really anything zombie themed there at the time. I think I'm going to try to make a trip back this summer.
Nicely done !!
