Official Press Release:

MONSTERS HD presents a special screening of Dawn of the Dead INSIDE the infamous Monroeville Mall! For the first time ever, George A.

Romero’s 1978 horror masterpiece, Dawn of the Dead will play on a big screen inside the famous Pittsburgh attraction where the movie was filmed! Beginning just one hour after the Mall closes on Saturday evening, June 21st, this special event tops an already stacked horror extravaganza planned for the upcoming HorrorHound Weekend event in Pennsylvania (located at the Pittsburgh ExpoMart in Monroeville, PA) the weekend of June 20-22nd, 2008!

The Alamo Drafthouse Traveling Roadshow will be projecting this “Dawn” screening inside the Mall as part of one of the largest collaborations the horror industry has ever witnessed; HorrorHound Weekend is a conjoined production of HorrorHound Magazine, Bloody-Disgusting. com (the web’s #1 horror movie news site), and Re-Evolution Entertainment. On top of these top-tier horror entities, a number of other media and studio reps from the industry will be on-hand to celebrate three days of horror, including (but not limited to): MONSTERS HD, Anchor Bay, Rue Morgue Magazine, Dread Central, Night of the Living Podcast, Deadpit Radio, Amok Time Toys, Toe Tag Pictures, and Time and Space Toys.

During the weekend of June 20-22nd, 2008, these various horror heavy-hitters will be surrounded by one of the most impressive horror celebrity guest lists to hit the Mid-West, ranging from legendary horror director John Landis (An American Werewolf in London) and top tier stars such as Shawnee Smith (Saw), Jason Mewes (Clerks), Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), and Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects) to first-time convention guests: Ottaviano Dell’Acqua (the iconic worm-zombie from Lucio Fulci’s Zombie), Al Cliver (Zombie), Darryl Ferruci (Creepshow), and Griffin Dunne (An American Werewolf in London) - just to name a few!

The Dawn of the Dead screening will take place where the Monroeville Mall’s old clock tower once stood, on a 50-foot screen, which will take over the Mall after closing time, Saturday June 21st, as over 500 fans pack this special section of the Mall, right down the hall from Time and Space Toys’ brick and mortar location, Toy Galaxy (who helped bring this event together), where refreshments will be available. Admission to this special screening is available at the HorrorHound Weekend event - located across the street, inside the Pittsburgh ExpoMart - for a modest $5 - all proceeds of which will be donated to the Make-a-Wish Foundation! ToeTag Pictures will be doing zombie make-up on guests all day leading up to the screening to help make this evening all the more memorable, as over ten “Dawn” alumni will be on-hand during the screening to ensure the night’s authenticity.

On top of these amazing guests and events, a special Bloody-Disgusting. com Film Festival is planned over the course of Friday and Saturday, featuring first-chance screenings of new films (including horror legend, Dario Argento’s Mother of Tears, Wicked Lake, Machine Girl and It’s My Party and I’ll Die If I Want To), while a host of special fan-friendly shows and vendors will be on-hand ranging from a 1930s-style Circus attraction and original film-prop displays and photo-ops to horror-centric toy companies showcasing new prototypes of upcoming products and film studios teasing upcoming projects, not to mention the various new film promotional goodies (swag), posters, and contests being held all three days!!
