Tis the season for scary movies.

Halloween, of course, Tomorrow night.

Fans of zombie movies certainly count George Romero among their favorite directors.

And this past weekend, more than 1300 of them paid tribute to the undea attending the annual Zombie Walk at Monroeville Mall.

Now, it was all in good fun, but I have to worry.

Some of the makeup and gore looks, well, pretty real as they come off.

So if zombies eating brains makes you queasy, you may want to leave the room.

Seriously, for the rest of you.

The criteria for being a zombie is simple just show up and shamble.

[Music Plays] Once a year we have this thing around Halloween, and it's just great to see all these people come out.

Welcome To Zombie World!

It feels awesome.

It's great to see such a big turnout.

We love seeing all the people get really into it.

Some people have all this awesome makeup.

I just wanted to see people's reactions.

When they let us go.

We're going to walk through shoveling through them all.

We can grow and moan, shamble, slow moving, kind of clumsy.

You got the fresh one.

You're the dead ones.

You got the crawling ones.

This is the Woodstock of zombies You can do better than that.

Lets here a mong!

I started doing zombie walks in Pittsburgh three years ago.

We did one in the South Side.

I only expected about ten people.

We had like 500.

We moved here to the mall a couple of months later, and that's when we had 898 zombies.

We started the event today.

We had all the zombies at one end of the Monroeville Mall, and I was yelling with a bullhorn, you know, be good.

Don't smear blood on the merchandise.

And pennies.

Were slow zombies.

Not fast zombies.

There's too many of you to have fast zombies today.

Ken Foray, who played Peter Washington in Don the dead in 1978.

The Swat guy that was shooting the zombies, he was here today!

Mr.

Ken four will be the official starter of the walk with the figure two.

Before I really get angry and have a flashback and start to shoot a few of you, let's get this zombie walk on.

[Cheering Sounds] Zombies, begins shambling.

Back you horns!

The focus of the day is to break the world record for the most amount of zombies gathered in one place.

We have that record in Pittsburgh here at the Monroeville Mall, where they filmed Dawn of the dead in 1978.

George Romero made that movie right in this building.

So the zombies love to come here and recreate those scenes of walking through the mall.

When everybody came in, they had to sign in.

Last year, we had 1028 zombies walking through here.

We have an unofficial number of 1375 [Cheering] Amazing!

Ladies and gentlemen, I do believe we've done it again.

It's crazy that we have this many people here.

We broke our little record 30 years ago.

We were here and running around the mall.

I was one of the bikers so I got to ride around the mall and on the bike and kill zombies and trash stores.

Just typical normal stuff.

It was fun.

I was with a lot of people who cared about making the movie.

It was fun to do.

We just had a good time.

I get a great deal of satisfaction out of these zombie walks.

It's a charity that makes you feel good.

It's just great to see all these people come out to the zombie walk bringing in food.

This is my classroom.

I'm their teacher.

[Zombie Sounds] [Zombie Sounds] We went around the neighborhood last night.

We collected from all the neighbors and relative to go nations for the food bank.

If as many people show u bringing at least one can a good that we had last year, we'll have over 1200 nonperishable food items.

If someone wants to participate next year, they can keep an eye on our website.

The it's a live show.

This is where you can watch the TV show online, and this is also where you can keep an eye on all zombie events.

Everything's zombie related in Pittsburgh and everything you need to know about breaking the world record again next year.

It's such a phenomenon, the whole zombie thing.

There are people who weren't even born when the movie came out.

They knew every line, every scene.

It's jus amazing that they're so into it.

I've been in lots of other cities where there were zombies.

There are no zombies like Pittsburgh Zombies.

[Music Plays] Pittsburgh is the zombie capital of the world.

George Romero made night of the Living Dead here, Dawn of the dead made in this place.

And zombies are really getting big right now.

A lot of zombie movies and it really all comes back to here.

It's something that we can claim as our own.

Pittsburgh, not a gigantic city, don't have steel anymore, but we got the zombie thing.

No one could take that away.

Like you could sell a sports team.

No one can buy the zombies and take them away.

Were the zombie city!

Believe it or not, the recent zombie walk was actually part of an international effort known as World Zombie Day.

The goal synchronizing zombie walks in 48 cities around the globe.

It's estimated that, all told, nearly 10,000 zombies came out to perform the celebratory walk.
