We return to the classic, just in time, for 28 Days Later where a rage virus has overrun London. Soon we'll all get to see what 28 Years Later looks like in only a few months. Is it still one of the best modern zombie movies out there? Did we love it or did we hate it? You'll just have to listen to us chat and find out. In the news, we learn about the Resident Evil 4 Remake selling 10 million copies, Days Gone Remastered has released on PS5, and last but not least, an attempt to save the horror and historic landmark, the Monroeville Mall, from possible demolition. Even listen to us debate if we're going to watch Dead City after some middling reviews! The post ZAMP 328 – 28 Days Later appeared first on Zombies Ate My Podcast.
When there's no more room in Hell…THE DEAD WILL PODCAST!This week on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*, Clay and Amanda are taking a trip to the Monroeville Mall to talk about George A. Romero's 1978 horror classic *Dawn of the Dead*, a movie that changed Clay himself, and zombie cinema, forever. It's got biting social satire, gruesome practical effects, and an absolutely relentless sense of dread. And, of course, it takes place in a shopping mall—one that might as well be *Hell on Earth* as far as I'm concerned. You think I'm walking into a mall after watching zombies shuffle through JC Penney? Not a chance. I don't even do curbside pickup.I know people love *Dawn of the Dead*. I know it's a classic. I know it's one of the most important horror films ever made. But let me tell you something—I saw this movie when I was way too young, and I have *never* set foot in a shopping mall since. Not once. Not a single store. No supermarkets, no corner shops, nothing. You think I'm being dramatic? Try watching hordes of gray-skinned, dead-eyed freaks stumbling through a shopping center at the age of eight and tell me it doesn't rewire your brain forever. Oh, and it's not just malls. You think I'm walking into a grocery store? Have you *seen* what happens when the looting starts in this movie? Absolute chaos. Nope. I grow my own vegetables. I raise my own chickens. I trade with my neighbor for whatever else I need. You can keep your fluorescent-lit zombie death traps. Anyway, Clay and Amanda are braver than me, so they're diving deep into this horror masterpiece. If you've got the guts to listen, tune in. Just don't invite me shopping afterward. I'll be staying *far* away.And be sure to hit up patreon.com/thepenskyfile to hear their companion coverage of the Zack Snyder remake!

Willie is back from Pittsburgh to recap his trip to the Monroeville Mall, Evans City cemetery, and The Steel City Con.
In 1978, horror legend George A. Romero created one of the most iconic films in the horror genre and a classic that defied genres altogether. His follow up to his mighty 1968 masterpiece “Night of the Living Dead”. The film, about a small band of survivors who take shelter in a shopping mall, while the outside world falls apart at the clawing hands of the living dead, was not only an audience and critical hit, it redefined the genre and its influence cannot be underestimated.In this special episode of Spill your guts, we celebrate the 45th anniversary of George A. Romero's seminal masterpiece, “Dawn of the Dead”.Joining me to discuss the film is horror maestro and long time friend of Spill your guts, Chris Alexander. Chris is the former editor of Fangoria magazine, an author, filmmaker and all around genre spokesman. He's also the perfect person for me to talk with about the film.Both Chris and I were fortunate enough to have a friendship with George and we both had our own unique conversations with him about “Dawn” and his relationship to the film.We discuss the films inception, the happy accidents that lead to some of the films most iconic moments, the challenges George faced with the production itself, the films incredibly multifaceted and damn near perfect script and why George Romero himself had a somewhat complicated relationship with the film. This and much, much more.It's difficult when discussing a film like “Dawn” not to retread when a movie has been analyzed and discussed as much as this but by taking a more holistic view of the film and because of our own relationships with the films creator, I feel even the most devout “Dawn” fans will find some ideas and insights here worth chewing on.Okay folks, there's no more room in hell so let's get down to it and return to Monroeville Mall with Chris Alexander as we look back at George A. Romero's “Dawn of the Dead”! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
After Night of the Living Dead, George Romero branched out, not wanting to be typecast as a zombie movie director. It was a tour of the Monroeville Mall that put the idea in his head, of a satire about consumerism. He would quickly have a rough idea in his head, a follow-up venture into the world of the undead.Romero and his producer Richard P. Rubinstein started the process of procuring US investors for his new zombie movie, but no one showed any interest. No one in the US anyway.Romero's friend Dario Argento would not only give him a place to write the movie in Rome; he'd also help him secure financing for Dawn of the Dead, but Romero would have to give him distribution rights to the non-English version of the movie, and the freedom to edit his own cut in return...Fast-forward to a post 9/11 early 2000s, and producers Eric Newman and Marc Abraham approached Rubinstein with their vision of a reimagining of Dawn of the Dead. Rubinstein had never granted the remake rights before, but there was something about their pitch that won him over. James Gunn would step up to write, and a young Zack Snyder would get his feature directorial debut... I would love to hear your thoughts on Dawn of the Dead (1978) & Dawn of the Dead (2004) !CONTACT....

Time to do some shopping, maniacs, because 70s Month continues with the hyper-local (to us) zombie classic Dawn Of The Dead. While we talk about this peak of yinzer horror cinema, we also discuss topics such as the time Gregg was kicked out of Monroeville Mall, zombies with suspiciously large square heads, and America's Funniest Home Videos. Want more George Romero talk? Check out our episodes on Monkey Shines (episode 98), Creepshow (episode 104), and Day Of The Dead (episode 114).
BRRRAAAAIINNNSSSS.... The zombie, a creature that has scared the crap out of all of us for quite some time. These creatures didn't just come from nowhere, though. They had some inspiration and have morphed throughout the years. And one of the biggest morphs they did was when a young George A. Romero visited the Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania.This mall was the inspiration for the movie Dawn of the Dead, but it has so much more to offer than that. Listen to Lisa as she explains the history of zombies, specifically the Romero-esque ones. Davis hits us up with a new zombie movie that involves ducks for some reason. And listen to Jake as he tells us about real life zombies that have made everything horrible for all of us.This episode kicks off October and our scavenger hunt!

This week, Steve and Dianna had the immense pleasure of having a chat with the ultra-talented Patricia Tallman! Patricia is perhaps best known for her work in the 1990 cult classic Night of The Living Dead as Barbara, the beleaguered heroine.

Either way, she has been swept into a career that features both Horror and Science Fiction projects. They chat about all of that, as well as Patricia's latest project: the free video series, “How To Tame Your Fear Dragon”.

Excerpts from ReImagine the Monroeville Mall Showcase on July 21, 2021. In April 2021, ReImagine Turtle Creek Watershed and Airshed Communities (TCWAC) hosted an essay contest asking high schoolers to share their ideas on how they would make the Monroeville Mall more economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable and inclusive of youth. A panel of judges, consisting of community leaders ranging from a Gateway School District Board Member to University of Pittsburgh Urban Studies Professors, chose three winning essays to receive cash prizes adding up to $1000. This contest builds upon a ReImagine TCWAC initiative that aims to revitalize the mall into a community hub for sustainability and innovation. To celebrate our talented and inspiring essayists, TCWAC held ReImagine the Monroeville Mall Showcase in July 2021 for winners of the contest to read their submissions to the community. This event created space for Monroeville residents to think about how the mall is a vital economic asset in our region. How can we, as a community of mall patrons, ensure that this asset is sustained? Journey Through Health & Wellness is a project of ReImagine Turtle Creek Watershed and Airshed Communities Plus.

Shopping malls aren't only a shopping experience, they are a social experience. With the decline of shopping malls as we know them, either by closing down or transitioning from shopping to entertainment, our shopping mall experiences will have to change.
Movies We Love: George A. Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" this is Ryan's favorite movie: "Following an ever-growing epidemic of zombies that have risen from the dead, two Philadelphia S.W.A.T. team members, a traffic reporter, and his television executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall." We discus our trip to the Monroeville Mall in 2004, which served as the set and filming location of this cult zombie masterpiece as well as summing up what we enjoy about the film. We also talk about the nearby airfield (also seen in the movie) and hijnks that may or may not have happened?! Other topics include how the rights for the film are being held "hostage" in the US from original producer Richard P. Rubinstein. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radicalretrorewind/message
Special EpisodeThe Creepy Cove Christmas Carol Service (2020)We offer you the finest greetings of the season for this special recording of our Creepy Cove Christmas Carol Service. It's a packed service filled with mirth, murder and merry Christmas feeling. We start with some words about Monroeville Mall's thrilling new Zombie Nativity Display called 'NIGHT....of the living God'. Then it's over to our first Creepy Carol - 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman'.Then we move into our atmospheric candle lighting ritual, which is facilitated by the Firestarter herself...Charlie McGee. Once the candles and Christmas tree is on fire, we gather to sing that pretty festive song 'Oh, Christmas Tree'. Which reminds us even the the most homicidal of trees can still have lovely branches. After that, it's our main feature of the night...'What A Strange Gift!' which is our very own retelling of the Christmas Nativity story featuring the following townsfolk in the top roles: Jack Torrance (King Herod)Wendy Torrance (King Herod's Servant'Rosemary Woodhouse (Mary)The Lost Boys (The Angels) We then move into our rousing rendition of Silent Night, which we like to call 'Silent Night, Spooky Night', played in the style of the hop hop happening disco music the local youngers enjoy on Prom Night. Next, Peter shares a few thoughts on the idea of goodwill at Christmas, then it's into our final song...We Wish You A Creepy Christmas. Listen through and see what horror characters you can spot referenced!After that we check on Wendy, because she doesn't seem to moving. Oof. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/creepycove)

Escape with us to the shopping mall, as Matthew Newton and the Arts & Letters team craft a nostalgic love letter to the malls of America, with special focus on the Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On this episode of Arts & Letters, we'll be talking with writer Matthew Newton about his Bloomsbury Object Lessons' book Shopping Mall , which chronicles its history, its relationship to us and our collective communities and our personal relationships to it. Newton writes: As a child I viewed the mall as a sacred place of curiosity and wonder, its tropical gardens, waterfalls, and ponds--the perfect backdrop for the make-believe worlds I conjured. I associated it with the happiness of weekends, and time spent with my parents and older sister. - As a teenager the mall is where I first experienced independence. I treated it as a small city to be exploited for everything it offered ... With friends I ran wild through the hidden passages behind the stores and evaded mall

This episode was recorded before the Halloween (2018) trailer dropped. For some strange reason John thinks this looks bad, and seeing the actual trailer did not change his mind. Although he had declared on social media that he was going to avoid discussing the film until our Franchise Retrospective this October, Michael J gets him going and the result is a very intriguing segment. After a break, Michael J shares an interesting first, John takes a trip to the morgue, and other stories. We discover that Solo may not be as bad as people have been saying. What is the worst DC film made so far. John's going to the Monroeville Mall and more!

This episode features an interview with J Thorn and Zach Bohannon. They talk not only about the collaboration that the two of them do, but also a few of their more adventurous collaborations with other authors including the original train journey with Joanna Penn and Lindsay Buroker and how that unique writing experience evolved into an ongoing AUTHORS ON A TRAIN voyage from Chicago to New Orleans as well as an awesome 50th Anniversary of George A Romero's classic film NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD and how that relates to J and Zach's NIGHT OF THE WRITING DEAD event. Mark provides a personal update on the video views for his #FreeFridayFrights experiment and then shares the evil reaction he had to creating two “silly” versions of the Laurel VS Yanny audio debate. (He created a RickRoll version, reminding writers to get back to writing, as well as a JumpScare one, because, well, he thought it was funny). He notes that the short and silly videos are trending much higher than the more serious reading ones he has done. The Terrible Tongue Twister, sponsored by Findaway Voices, was provided by Laura and Daniel Martone, who will be featured guests in a forthcoming podcast. They asked for another Monty Python inspired accent to read it in, and the Australian accent from the troop's Bruce Sketch came up. After a terrible attempt at singing the Bruce's Philosopher's Song, Mark twists his tongue and likely offends multiple groups of people, from Python fans, to Australians, to beer drinkers and philosophers. Mark thanks the users who have sent feedback and comments as well as the listeners who have become Patreon supporters of the podcast. In the interview, Mark, J and Zach talk about: How Zach and J started collaborating when Zach first became a fan of and then reached out to J The system for how their writing collaborations work and the way they leverage their unique strengths What StoryGrid is and how it shouldn't frighten the math averse The five basic components to story structure J and Zach's The Career Author Podcast, why they collaborated on it and how the process of putting the show together works The analytics of story that they two of them share on what makes a scene work and what makes a story work The original of the AUTHORS ON A TRAIN retreat with the original train trip from Chicago to New Orleans, and how it evolved into something that a slightly larger group of authors can get involved with Details about the forthcoming NIGHT OF THE WRITING DEAD that they are planning for later this year The difficult to measure yet critical value of in person connections After the conversation, Mark shares his own experience having just written a zombie story set at the Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh (where the Romero film was shot and where NIGHT OF THE WRITING DEAD event will be taking place). He then reflects on something important that J and Zach speak about. Even though it was the revolution of digital publishing that has allowed authors to make a full time living off of their writing, a unique time in the history of writing, there's still something critical and important about real-world direct connections.
