That was filmed in the Monroeville Mall near Pittsburgh.

I used to go there, years ago (as a shopper, not a zombie - but not really much difference when you get right down to it!).

Saw this movie on Fordham Road in the Bronx when I was like 9. A bunch of us walked down from Bainbridge Avenue to go see it. Summer vacation.

Scarred for life would be an understatement.

2004 version is cringe.

Rewatching it, oof...

The AP-74s ruined it a bit for me but it's still a great historic horror flick.

I didn't really notice those until the movie was HD, and not watched on a tube tv.

I get it though, Iirc M16 blank guns were over their budget.

I agree. The 2004 version wasn't near as good and juvenile (fake CGI muzzle flash at the end of rubber guns sucked too). Initially, I had a chance to do all the gun work in this one but the production moved to Canada.  I still got invited to to the premiere in Pittsburgh. Met Quinton Tarrantino (he's a dick) and Robert Rodriguez (great guy). Romero's son met with me that night about a movie he was working on but I passed as friends in the industry who just worked with him stated he is totally unprofessional and is high when he's in the the director's chair.

Did you hear that was the reason was? I worked in the movie industry for 20 years (alongside working in the defense and firearms industries) but never found out why they did that for sure. I asked Tom Savini once and he didn't know. (Tom Savini is the legendary SFX makeup guy who had a cameo in the original - he is one of  reasons Rodriguez and Tarantino got into the movie business- look him up). AP-74s were around $125 and AR-15s were about $375 at the time of filming but rentals from Stembridge were available. The AP-74s were purchased and not rented most likely as they were not rigged to function with blanks. There was was a full auto Thompson in the film.

I cant find that source sorry. I can see the price difference adding up, and quantity needed being a factor. Especially for the police/national guard scenes.

Not sure if it was in a commentary.

According to imfdb they didnt actually fire the 22s. They mimicked firing and added in the muzzle flash/report later. Makes sense since they had that sweet ass machine gun sound effect used in movies.

Thanks.

Yes they did fire them with regular. 22 blanks . It is very difficult to rig a .22LR to run in semi-auto with .22 theatrical blanks (they look like crimped birdshot). I never used .22s  being the Theatrical Armorer on dozens of movies.

I grew up within sight of the mall and wasted much of my youth as a mall rat roaming that mall.  They filmed the outdoor shots on Sundays since the mall was closed back then on Sunday.   I remember standing in my yard watching the the helicopter flying around the mall.  The inside of the mall has changed alot  since the movie was filmed.

Sadly that mall has become unsafe for real and it has nothing to do with the undead.

Numerous fights break out Friday night inside Monroeville Mall

That movie made me want a slick side AR with triangle hand guards.

I got one and it’s been a fantastic gun.

Very interesting stuff.
My pet theory is just “they knew a yinzer with an FFL who hooked them up at cost” for the guns.
If you look closely they’re ALL cheapo 22s.
Same thing happened with Evil Dead, Bruce Campbell just went and bought a cheap shotgun to use as a prop in the film.

Tried explaining to wife how lucky she was because she would be seeing it this week, for the first time, on the big screen.
Somehow, the absolute awesomeness of that fact… failed to impress.

She is insanely hot, and at times she looked very cold.

I like the remake better honestly. I hated Barbara's original character. She was so damn useless
