Night of the Living Dead Grave Marker — Attraction in Jackson Township

This cemetery on the outskirts of Evans City, Pennsylvania is almost like a place of pilgrimage if you are a fan of classic movies and the zombie genre. One of the filming locations of the famed 1968 "Night of the Living Dead" by George Romero.

This cemetery has become world famous and is frequently visited by fans. I had the opportunity to visit while in the area and I was impressed by the fact that not much has changed in the 53 years since the movie was filmed. The cemetery is very well kept and the graves seen on camera had flowers on them from previous visitors. The chapel seen in the background is also in great condition and just as it was back in '68.

Cemetery was not hard to find, but be cautious at night because the roadway is narrow and in a very rural area so lighting is minimal. Please also be respectful when visiting and understand that while this location is famous from the movie, it is still an active cemetery and there are others visiting loved ones...

Well, if you're a 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️Zombie lover, then this is mecca!! This is the area where the opening scenes of the original Night of the Living Dead were filmed. When Barbara and her brother were visiting their fathers grave and the first Zombie appeared. The market shown is adjacent to the actual grave. Also there is the old Chapel which was NOT in the movie, but a few years ago was going to be tore down. Fans if the movie donated their time and money and had it rebuilt !! Now that's...

This is a must see for zombie freaks. The "Night of the Living Dead" was the low-budget movie that started it all in 1968. A museum exists in the local town that provides specifics.

This is a well cared for resting place. People here are happy to show you around. All they ask is you respect where you are. Some of the stones have interesting inscriptions. With time you may even find one containing an American & Chinese...
