It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies
You canât keep zombies down after Halloween. Back by popular demand, Time and Space Toys presents its second annual Monroeville Mall Zombie Holiday Party on Sunday, December 13 from 6 PM to 10 PM at the Monroeville Mall where Romero’s original Dawn Of The Dead was filmed.
Admission is free and the party will feature:
– Photos with Zombie Santa â photo package available at the store for $10
– Tours of the Monroeville Zombies themed attraction
– Living Dead Experience motion simulator ride â ride tokens available in the store for $3
– Appearance by Leonard Lies â âMachete Zombieâ in the original Dawn of the Dead
– Zombie movie trivia contest
– Prize drawings
– Refreshments
Zombie party goers will have an opportunity to check out the storeâs newly remodeled Monroeville Zombies exhibit, which is a celebration of Zombies in Pop Culture. Located in the historic Monroeville Mall, site of the original film, George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, the themed attraction takes fans through a visual history of zombies in cinema.
Displays of movie props and memorabilia are woven into a presentation featuring interactive experiences and zombie gift shopping. The exhibit includes a Zombie Gallery, a model exhibit of Monroeville Mall circa 1978 and a walkthrough of a boiler room mock-up complete with life-sized zombies.
Leonard Lies, who played the iconic âMachete Zombieâ in the original Dawn of the Dead which was filmed at the mall in 1978, will be inducted into the new âMaul of Fameâ during the party. The Maul of Fame is where zombie film celebrities are immortalized in the tradition of Hollywood Boulevard, but with a zombie twist by leaving “bloody” handprints on the Maul of Fame wall.
In addition to offering zombie and horror related items, Time and Space is also home to the original Santa and Rudolph puppets from the 1964 stop-motion animation film âRudolph the Red Nosed Reindeerâ. The store carries a wide variety of unique toys and collectibles rooted in pop culture, from classic television shows to modern hits.
Both zombies and humans are welcome to attend. The event is open to all ages, although some of the zombie exhibits (in a separate location in the back of the store) may not be suitable for young children.
