See? The Chapel from NOTLD is in danger and needs your help!
From www.fixthechapel.com-
Thanks to George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, Evans City Cemetery chapel will stand forever on film. In reality, its future is uncertain. Used for decades as a storage shed, the building has fallen into a state of disrepair and cemetery officials estimate it costing $50,000 to restore the structure to its former glory.
Night of the Living Dead fans are banding together on Facebook and at fundraisers to help breathe new life into the cinematic landmark. Gary Streiner, leader of the grassroots effort, believes restoring the chapel will generate income for the 120-year-old burial ground through the sale of engraved brick pavers, tours and vow renewal ceremonies to be held onsite.
Streiner, who worked as a sound engineer on the original film and organized Living Dead festivals in 2008 and 2009, is a regular on the horror convention circuit. He’s met hundreds of ghoul enthusiasts who want to visit Evans City Cemetery. “The cemetery is so iconic in the whole zombie-horror world,” he says. “If fans knew they could come to the chapel and see it as more than just a boarded-up building, it would draw a lot more people. It would be nice to see it become a Night of the Living Dead museum.”
