Event coincides with worldwide celebration of director George Romero’s birthday
Evans City, PA – January 26, 2012 – Gary Streiner hopes to restore the Evans City Cemetery Chapel by raising the dead. Well, actually, he’s raising funds with the help of Night of the Living Dead fans.
The structure, which appears in the opening scene of George Romero’s iconic horror movie that was filmed in and around the town and cemetery, has fallen into a state of disrepair and was slated for demolition last fall. Streiner appealed to the Evans City Cemetery Association for a chance to save this piece of cinematic history and was given a one year deadline to raise approximately $50,000 to cover the cost of restoration.
