Today’s post features another photo, never seen, or rarely seen ever before.
It captures a moment of that time and features random zombies with a biker in front of JC Penney’s as seen in DAWN OF THE DEAD.
That JC Penney’s store is not in the same place in the modern day mall. I know lots of people do know this, but in case you don’t know, this JCPenney store that was used extensively in the movie was closed and then demolished in the winter 2012 into 2013. It was a part of the Monroeville Mall, but it was decided to demolish that building and rebuild a new building in it’s spot to house the Cinemark movie theater on the upper level and the H&M store beneath it on the lower level. While JCPenney’s used to be in the center of the mall it is now on one end of the mall on the upper level, outside what is now known as Romero Court, which used to be the Clock Tower Court back in the day. Romero Court outside the current JCPenney’s location is where the George Romero memorial bust can be seen on permanent display at the mall. I point all this out because some people go to the mall and they see JCPenney’s and where it currently is and then they look for the escalator but there is no escalator. That JCPenney’s is not the same store and it’s not in the same spot as what you see in the movie.
I don’t have much else to say considering this photo, but I do hope that you enjoy seeing these rare photos taken while the movie was being filmed.
Each day this month I will be showing you something cool, rare, or even noteworthy concerning DAWN OF THE DEAD as a Christmas Present to the fans from me. I hope that you enjoy this holiday look at DAWN OF THE DEAD.
This is awesome!
