MONROEVILLE, Pa. —Zombies invaded Monroeville Mall again on Wednesday after word spread quickly on social media that a piece of Pittsburgh movie history had found a safe, final resting place.
A small footbridge at the center of a nationwide preservation effort by zombie fans will be packed up and moved to the Heinz History Center in the Strip District.
Several people dressed up like the undead creatures at a news conference by mall officials to announce the move Wednesday.
The bridge is the last accessible feature of the mall visible in George Romero's 1978 horror classic, "Dawn of the Dead."
It is being removed as part of a multimillion-dollar renovation of the mall.
Romero has said he chose a mall for much of the film's undead action to serve as social commentary on mindless commercialism.
