    Yes, it is the one directly above the cross. Don't change the angle though, I did that so you could see the barn where the gas pump was.

    Yeah, Savini seems to hate it as much as I do, maybe more. Truly a neutered film.

    Definately!!?

    Vote against the current label then & add a new one then for the correct location? (Or do you want me to do it?)
    The cemetery is absolutely, positively located here: Evans City Cemetery
    I've been there half a dozen times. The industrial location just south of the cemetery wasn't there when the movie was filmed.

    Also, a better description would be 107 Building Rooftop or

    DAWN Elevator Shaft or

    NIGHT Basement -- take your pick.

    The comment says "Day of the Dead scenes were shot here. Dawn of the Dead was filmed at the mall..."

    HUH?

    that doesn't make a whole lot of sense does it?

    No part of Day was shot there.

    Day was shot entirely on the beach/landing area you linked to, the mines, the missile silo connected to the mines, another missile site where they filmed the elevator shaft scene(s), and downtown Ft. Myers. 4 locations in total.

    Are you not seeing the squares around areas? My guess then is you're using Internet Explorer (probably an older version?)

    Do yourself a favour and download FireFox

    The whole idea of Wikimapea is anyone can add a comment to anywhere/anything...

    You have to double click on the linked areas to vote and leave comments. I didn't understand how it worked at first, either.

    The Fan of the Dead guy did get it right--he has it listed as West Middleton Cemetery and not Washington Cemetery. It looks much larger on video than it appears on the map. That DVD is crazy--they listed the physical address of every location visited, even the private residences which is sort of not cool.

    Original location of the 1968 Night of the Living Dead Farmhouse (best view available on wikimapia, anyhow)

    The intersection of Hendry St & Main St, Fort Myers, FL where the wide angle of the dead walking in Day of the Dead was shot facing north.

    Edison Theatre, Fort Myers, FL from Day of the Dead

    The B&P Truckyard from Dawn of the Dead

    Is anyone else even trying?

    I read a long while ago that the elevator shots from Day were shot at the abandoned Nike missile base outside of Pittsburgh. Those things were once all over the northeastern U.S. I thought that fact was confirmed here not long ago.

    Great links, but now I'm confused as to where the whole damned movie was filmed!

    It was also confirmed a mere five posts above yours, which should also clear up any misconceptions regarding filming locations.

    Looks like five locations to me, professor, unless you're saying there was once a missile silo in the salt mine. Is that a confirmed DOD fact?

    Beach/Landing Area
    The Mines
    Missile Silo
    Elevator Shaft
    Downtown Fort Myeters

    Yes, the Missile Silo used in the film is connected to the mine. I have been there. It is still there.
