Dawn of the Dead was filmed at the Monroeville Mall outside Pittsburgh. A key reference movie for the zombie apocalypse.

There was a large, beautiful mall near me. What killed that mall was not Amazon. What killed that mall was placing a bus stop near one of the doors.
The next thing you know, the mall was a gathering place for every hoodlum within 20 miles.
