Calling All Zombie Fans

July 20, 2007 Lindsay 2 Comments

IheartPGH has the inside scoop on this new documentary that is uniquly Pittsburgh…

Chris Ivey, a film maker who travels the world making documentary films, but lives right here in Pittsburgh has just released some clips for his latest and greatest project – ZombieTown, USA. ZombieTown USA is a documentary film about Zombie movie fans here in Pittsburgh. The documentary features some clips with major film industry people who have visited Pittsburgh to visit the original ZombieTown.

Pittsburgh is considered the birthplace of horror films. In 1968, George Romero, who attended Carneige Mellon University shot his first Zombie film Night of the Living Dead, which has become a cult classic here in Pittsburgh and has continued to film horror films here since then.

Pittsburgh Fun Fact – One of the first film projects that Romero worked on was Mr. Rodger Neighborhood.
