Back from the dead after a brief hiatus, Monroeville Zombies, a zombie-themed tourist attraction returns to the Monroeville Mall with a carnival themed grand re-opening. The event, “Zom-B-Rama,” is an annual zombie Halloween celebration hosted by the mall-based attraction. This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, and will also coincide with Monroeville Zombies’ reopening in a new larger location featuring more activities and exhibits.

Monroeville Zombies is now located inside the Monroeville Mall’s Funhouse Video Arcade in the lower level at Macy’s court. The new larger location allows for more space for zombie exhibits and fun activities such as, “Hole in the Mall”, a retro 70’s Monroeville Mall themed Mini-Golf and the future expansion zombie-themed shooting gallery. The Monroeville Mall was the film set location of the classic 1978 zombie horror film, “George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead”.

Carnival proceeds benefit the “Save the Evans City Cemetery Chapel,” a fund-raising effort to restore the cinematic landmark from the 1968 film classic, “Night of the Living Dead.” Event hours are noon to 9 p.m.
