0:20
behind these walls in the mall itself
0:24
where it was filmed in the late 70s
0:28
there's gonna be some celebrity sighting
0:31
some stars from the movie itself and who
0:34
knows you never know what's gonna happen
0:36
here
0:40
join us shall you as we make our way in
0:45
through one of the entrances there are
0:47
some photos that have been placed here a
0:49
few years ago designating its place in
0:53
history got George Romero down here the
0:56
fountain which no longer exists on
0:59
property and some of the cast members
1:02
and while this is a very nice homage to
1:06
George they are planning something very
1:09
special a little later on in the day
1:12
this mural designates a lot of the
1:14
popular icons of the area but the focus
1:20
today are plaid shirt wearing zombies is
1:28
that Batman Batman is looming over the
1:31
shoulder ticket will call booth has just
1:34
opened
1:35
and check out the line quite a few
1:40
people are already lining up to get
1:42
tickets it wasn't always this way
1:46
but in current years the mall has really
1:49
embraced the theming
1:50
there's even laser tag that creepy hand
1:54
points the way the area of rescue that
2:00
looks looks dangerous back there it's a
2:02
trap I don't think that's really the
2:04
party room and here's some stuffed
2:06
creatures in this case they might look
2:09
cute and cuddly but they will bite right
2:12
into your flesh right here in the
2:14
parking lot is the Steel Man and look at
2:18
his military vehicle there's like blood
2:22
and body parts all on the hood whoa
2:27
that does not look it's just a flesh
2:32
wound it's just a flesh wound when do
2:34
you have t-shirts will be available
2:37
check this out
2:40
this was taken from the woods in North
2:43
Carolina it is the work shed that was
2:46
next to the cabin and Evil Dead 2 and
2:50
they've rebuilt it here to take photos
2:52
in front of it is pretty neat to think
2:53
that Bruce Campbell attached a chainsaw
2:55
to his arm right inside that thing just
2:58
to give a little better perspective
2:59
wraparound view of horror history and
3:03
see parts of the slats have decomposed
3:06
and Bend removed over time parts of the
3:10
tin roof still exists as well as the
3:13
upper doorway that you could throw hay
3:16
and whatnot in and the front door which
3:20
is also missing yeah a pretty good chunk
3:22
but how cool how freaking cool is this
3:31
the confusion on the normal shoppers
3:31
faces as they go up the escalator is a
3:34
sight to behold
3:35
utter confusion on what's going on and
3:38
if you're wondering the layouts of the
3:40
property it is depicted on the front of
3:43
this t-shirt
3:44
oh wait I'm standing right there that
3:47
means that is that is bad news I'm
3:50
standing right there is bad news for me
3:59
fascinated in filmmaking and the
3:59
sculpture and special effects and all
4:00
the magic the woman's and being on that
4:02
side of the screen and there's sort of
4:05
Holy Trinity of my childhood my brother
4:08
class Oh Tom Savini
5:01

5:06
when it was first unveiled the event
5:09
takes place in four different rooms call
5:13

because these horrifying creatures do
11:38
not play around there also is a specific
11:43
event shirt stating perfect baby this is
11:50
a clever idea one of the actresses
11:53
placed made a headstone stating that she
11:56
died in 1978 she's still alive currently
12:00
in 1978 was when the movie was released
12:03
she's a raccoon lover and she write
12:05
wrote a book about about raccoons and

12:12

12:14
creatures of the dead away their zombie

12:38
directing it yes excellent
12:45
such a cool shot right there filming
12:45
George shooting that shooting the gun
13:27
even though the former JC Penney's here
13:27
in the mall was demolished they do have
13:31
the elevator that the doors open and
13:33
flyboy comes walking out with that
13:36
iconic Zombie Walk this would have been
13:41
the inside of the elevator there are the
13:45
mechanisms that make the door operate
13:49
and this is the front angle which you
13:52
might remember from the film look at
13:57
that see and they're cracked open just
13:59
waiting for flyboy to come walking out
14:03
even even that hole as seen in the movie
14:07
I'm going to retrace the iconic steps
14:10
and just slide
14:20
so freaking cool and even more
14:20
impressive as there is some of the fake
14:22
blood splattered on the inside of the
14:26
door 40 years later the stain still
14:33
holds up it's freaking amazing right
14:38
looks like a normal coffee can but
14:41
there's a Audrey too
14:44
it's multiple
14:47
multiple odd reaches the wheel of
14:58
walking dead landed on Rick back of this
15:03
magazine turn it around there's a mask a
15:07
paper mask
15:08

15:12
a lot of different a lot of different
15:16
ones here
15:18
who even a they live one up top there
15:21
the far left they lived and next to
15:24
these leather faces the book trailer
15:55
park of the Living Dead are the guitars
15:59
used in the movie know that they are
16:01
associated with the movie and then we
16:03
love carrots playing guitar through the
16:04
whole thing
16:05
these particular ones from screen news
16:07
that remain customization
16:29
inside halt see playing some
16:29
documentaries some chairs set up in
16:32
there and you can just sit down for a
16:35
spell and relax I think I found the most
16:37
horrifying item out here no not the
16:42
illuminating eyes Darth Vader not all
16:45
the paraphernalia or the gas masks but
16:50
Teddy Ruxpin oh the horror
17:31
this was a piece of the JCPenney
17:31
elevator when JC Penney's was shut down
17:33
in 2012 we were able to go in for a day
17:37
and salvage some of the parts that were
17:39
up during filming when we were inside
17:41
the elevator
17:42
we realized that covering was coming
17:45
loose and when we pulled it off we
17:47
looked and found the original paneling
17:49
that was up during filming of George
17:51
Romero's Donna the debt was still intact
17:52
here's a close-up version of the Romero
17:55
bus see the inscriptions there with you
17:59
got the hands of the dead poking up on
18:01
either side to the top and a quote from
18:07
George saying the neighbors are scary
18:09
enough when they're not dead there it is
18:20
pretty cool but George did something
18:20
else
18:20
he changed rules
18:27
that's gonna do it from the Monroeville
18:27
