But I grew up and spent most of my life in Evans City, PA… where Night of the living dead was filmed. I can remember the first time I saw Night of the Living Dead; it scared the living hell out of me. Not only because it's a very frightening movie, but because I knew all the locations in the movie. From the Evans City Cemetery to the bridge where the reporter is holding an interview. Another reason this movie is so close to my heart is because my great grandfather is in it, Randy Burr (last name in the credits). He wasn't a Zombie... but he did help burn the Zombies in the end credits. I always get a big smile on my face when someone at the end yells "Ok Randy, Light the fire!" because I know it's being said to him. He's in the background in one or two other scenes... But the end credits are where he is featured most prominently (and also why it's my favorite part). It's also my understanding that he helped the filmmakers scout locations. I don't know if this would be any help to your documentary, but I would love to be interviewed for it. I currently live in Coraopolis near the Airport.
