MONROEVILLE, Pa. \u2014 When Michelle Parsons was planning her wedding in 2007, she had only one honeymoon destination in mind.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cMy fiance asked, \u2018Where do you want to go?\u2019\u201d Parsons recalled. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018The Monroeville Mall.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The modest two-story shopping complex, 20 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, might not seem like the most romantic choice. But to horror lovers like Parsons, the Monroeville Mall is \u201ca holy place\u201d \u2014 not to mention one of the largest and longest-standing movie sets in the country.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the late 1970s, George A. Romero, the creator of the modern zombie genre, took over the building to shoot \u201cDawn of the Dead,\u201d a blood-soaked tale of four survivors who hide out in an abandoned mall as they try to fend off bloodthirsty creatures and greedy bikers. As Romero once told Rolling Stone, the Monroeville Mall epitomized \u201cthe false security of the whole consumer America trip,\u201d making it the perfect backdrop for a gory allegory about 20th-century capitalism run amok.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Since the film\u2019s U.S. release in 1979, \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d has attracted generations of fans to Monroeville, including Parsons, a 46-year-old X-ray technologist from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. When she finally arrived at the mall after her wedding, Parsons began to cry.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI was in heaven,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The marriage didn\u2019t last. But Parsons\u2019 love for the movie, and for the mall, has endured.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Last month, she was back in Monroeville for the Living Dead Weekend. This year, it united an estimated 3,000 \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d aficionados with more than 60 cast and crew members, its organizer, Kevin Kriess, said. Together, the \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d faithful celebrated the building\u2019s history \u2014 and began the uneasy process of saying goodbye to the mall.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In October, Walmart announced it had teamed with Cypress Equities, a development company, to buy the property for $34 million. According to a filing, there are plans to demolish the mall and build a multiuse center. The Living Dead Weekend, which has been held since 2015, will need to find a new home.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in denial,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cYou just kind of hope there\u2019s a Hail Mary, that maybe they\u2019ll save some part of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Many Living Dead Weekend attendees expressed a similar disbelief. How could their beloved gathering space simply disappear?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to fathom, because it\u2019s so iconic to so many people,\u201d said Greg Nicotero, a Pittsburgh native and an executive producer of \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d who got his start as a special-effects makeup artist with help from Romero. \u201cI\u2019d equate visiting the mall to going to Georgetown and standing at the bottom of the steps where Father Karras lands in \u2018The Exorcist,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cOr going to Martha\u2019s Vineyard and seeing Quint\u2019s shack from \u2018Jaws.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Given the mall\u2019s imminent closure, the mood over the weekend was bittersweet. There were panel discussions, autograph sessions and VIP parties where former zombies mingled with revelers. Fans, some of whom paid $50 for a three-day pass, re-created their favorite scenes \u2014 like a shootout on the mall\u2019s top floor \u2014 and met up with other enthusiasts, including people from New Zealand, Sweden and Britain.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve told friends and family, \u2018If you love this movie, get down here as soon as possible,\u2019\u201d said Joseph Lilagan, a warehouse traffic-support specialist from Mesa, Arizona, who has visited the mall nearly a half-dozen times, and was attending this event for his 38th birthday. \u201cBeing here widens the fan vibe within you. Who wouldn\u2019t want to come and enjoy whatever\u2019s left?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Retail decay <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

As attendees overtook the mall, the building\u2019s declining health was hard to ignore.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A handful of prominent businesses were shuttered, including a vast Forever 21 store that sat in darkness. Some smaller stores looked as though they\u2019d been abandoned in a hurry: In one hollowed-out location, all that remained were a few skeletal fixtures and a lone red hat; in another store, a limp \u201cGrand Opening\u201d sign sat on the floor.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Such images of retail decay would no doubt feel familiar to dead mall scholars \u2014 as well to viewers of \u201cBackrooms,\u201d the industrial-space horror film playing at the Monroeville Mall\u2019s movie theater.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve gone from deindustrialization to de-mallization,\u201d noted Tony Buba, an 82-year-old documentarian who has spent decades chronicling the plight of working-class Pennsylvania. Buba, who had a small role in \u201cDawn of the Dead,\u201d admitted he was no fan of malls, having watched them put mom-and-pop stores out of business. But even he was feeling sanguine about the Monroeville Mall\u2019s current state. \u201cI think someone should buy it and turn it into an indoor zombie amusement park,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

During the convention\u2019s first two days, the number of shoppers trickling in was notably low. \u201cIt looks like a zombie apocalypse happened here, which is kind of spot-on,\u201d said Scott Yesh, 52, a regional manager for AAMCO Transmissions from Houston who was posing next to a bust of Romero in the courtyard.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Dennis Biondo, the mayor of Monroeville, said that while the sale of the building had been completed, no plans for its development had been submitted to the municipality. No closing date has been announced.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In a statement, Walmart said it had no new information, noting only that, \u201cWe believe this transformation will create a vibrant, community-centered destination that helps shape a strong, exciting future for the Monroeville area.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But given that some tenants have been told to vacate by April 2027, the building\u2019s end seems near.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A few of the storefronts, including a giant-size former Party City, had been converted into halls for the weekend. On Saturday afternoon during the weekend of the event, Tom Savini, the makeup effects wiz on \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d and other classic movies like \u201cFriday the 13th\u201d \u2014 and who acted in \u201cDawn\u201d \u2014 signed autographs close to where he had executed a daring stunt.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI dove off this balcony into cardboard boxes,\u201d Savini, who played a machete-wielding biker in the film, said. \u201cI can\u2019t even look at it now without my knees getting weird.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Savini, 79, said he was taking a stoic approach to the building\u2019s demise. \u201cWhat can you do?\u201d asked Savini, who directed the 1990 remake of \u201cNight of the Living Dead.\u201d \u201cThere are petitions out there, but they\u2019re not going to do a bit of good.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Stumbling on escalators <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Such a fate seemed impossible when the mall opened its doors in 1969. Hailed by its founders as \u201cthe U.S.\u2019s largest enclosed shopping center,\u201d the building featured an ice-skating rink, a $125,000 clock tower that hosted puppet shows, and more than 100 stores and businesses.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt was busy all the time,\u201d remembered Beverly Galando, 76, a longtime Monroeville resident who had stopped by the celebration to do some people-watching. \u201cI used to meet my mom here for walks, and now my sister and my friends walk here. This place is a gem.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Romero felt the same way when he toured the mall in 1974. By that point, the Pittsburgh-based filmmaker had been running from zombies for years. After the success of his 1968 thriller \u201cNight of the Living Dead\u201d Romero was inundated with requests for a sequel. \u201cI was just resisting completely,\u201d he recalled in the 2004 documentary \u201cThe Dead Will Walk.\u201d \u201cI didn\u2019t want to get typecast.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Romero\u2019s visit helped inspire the screenplay for \u201cDawn of the Dead,\u201d which filmed in late 1977 and early 1978. The cast and crew members shot in the evening and wrapped by 7:05 a.m. the next day. That\u2019s when the mall\u2019s automatic Muzak system switched on, and local cardiac patients arrived for their morning exercise, passing blood-splattered zombies on their way in.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe mall was sort of our home,\u201d said Gaylen Ross, a documentarian who played one of the human survivors in \u201cDawn of the Dead.\u201d \u201cWe had complete freedom to roam around,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd we spent a lot of time waiting for blood to be cleaned up.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Romero shot additional sequences at various Pittsburgh-area locations, including a regional airport and a gun shop (both now gone). But nearly all of the action was captured at the mall. That\u2019s where the zombies try to reconnect to their human pasts: They wander through department stores, stumble along escalators and even take to the ice.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In one exchange from the film, Ross\u2019 character struggles to understand the creatures\u2019 behavior.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWhy do they come here?\u201d she asks.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Her boyfriend, played by David Emge, says, \u201cSome kind of instinct.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cMemory of what they used to do,\u201d the character adds. \u201cThis was an important place in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

A hopeful future <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Though Romero took aim at me-decade commercialism in \u201cDawn of the Dead,\u201d he surrounded that message with plenty of chaos and carnage, not to mention lots of gnarly special effects. That led the U.S. ratings board to slap the movie with an \u201cX,\u201d making it a tough sell in America (Romero ultimately decided to release it in theaters unrated). The movie proved too much for some critics, including Janet Maslin of The New York Times, who left \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d after just 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Nonetheless, the low-budget film eventually became a box-office hit, powered by action sequences \u2014 including scenes of motorcycles and cars tearing through the mall \u2014 as well as wry humor and an unlikely upbeat message.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a family component to the movie, because the survivors only have each other,\u201d said Carl Hoelzl, 61, an insurance-industry employee from Stonybrook on Long Island. He was relaxing in a massage chair in the middle of the mall. \u201c\u2018Dawn of the Dead\u2019 gives you the sense of, OK, even though the world\u2019s falling apart, people can come together and start building for a hopeful future.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Romero would likely never have guessed that the building he used to symbolize excess would become a product itself. And there were plenty of spending opportunities for the Living Dead Weekend attendees: Autographs of many of the zombie actors cost $20 to $60, while old bricks from the mall were available for $75 each.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

On Saturday night during the event, Dan Bertha was killing time near the food court, an unlit cigar in his hand. Bertha, 79, had a long history with the mall: He\u2019d worked on its construction, and played hockey on its ice rink. He\u2019d even starred as a SWAT team member in \u201cDawn of the Dead.\u201d This was the third convention he\u2019d attended for the film, and it was going well: The fans had been friendly, and he estimated he\u2019d made about $1,000 a day signing autographs.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

For those who wanted a more immersive zombie experience, daily tours of the mall (for $50) were conducted by Larry DeVincentz, 51, an enthusiastic \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d authority from Fort Mill, South Carolina. At one point, DeVincentz rolled on the ground for about 100 tour guests, re-creating a scene in which zombies gobble a biker\u2019s guts.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

DeVincentz was confident the \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d celebrations would continue.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He won\u2019t have to wait that long: Over the course of the weekend, word got out that another Living Dead Weekend had been set for October. (Since 2017, the event has been held twice a year, with other installments dedicated to different horror films.) That will allow \u201cDawn of the Dead\u201d-heads to revisit their beloved mall one last time.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Parsons said she would be among those returning. Many of the fans here, she noted, had come to feel like family. Last year, she even served as a maid of honor at a wedding of two friends she\u2019d met at the Living Dead Weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cGeorge Romero brought us all together for this one thing,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cAnd this is the only vacation I take.\u201d<\/p>\n
