Francine Parker<\/span>: What are they doing? Why do they come here?<\/p>\n Stephen<\/span>: Some kind of instinct. Memory of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n While the zombies in George A. Romero’s classic 1978 film, Dawn of the Dead<\/em>, may not have known why they shambled to the Monroeville Mall, countless fans DO head there with a specific purpose. \u00a0Many adoring fans visit just to say they’ve been fortunate enough to experience walking around the mall used as the main filming location for Romero’s Dawn of the Dead<\/em>.<\/p>\n Unfortunately fans will soon have one less reason to visit the iconic Monroeville Mall located in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. We recently discovered on Facebook that plans are underway to remove the small bridge seen on screen. This is especially sad because the footbridge is one of the last recognizable portions of the mall left for Dawn fans to personally experience, touch and enjoy. \u00a0Even more troubling is the fact that the bridge could simply be discarded instead of being treated like the piece of zombie and horror film history it is!<\/p>\n Before we go any further we should say we haven’t been able to verify things first hand. \u00a0While we have absolutely no reason to NOT believe what we’ve heard, we feel obligated to point out we’re simply reporting what we’ve read via social media.
