    Vote against the current label then & add a new one then for the correct location? (Or do you want me to do it?)

    Yes, and the beach to the south of there is where the final scene was shot.

    No, it isn't. (Although that is what Dubious thinks it is I'm sure)

    Due northwest from there, West Middletown.

    That Washington, PA credit on Night 90 has likely been throwing people off for years, as well as circling around that cemetery that Dubious linked too (myself included). I have no effing idea what sent us off in the direction of West Middletown, but we found the effer. We spotted the Night 90 House on the way back into town. They are about 3 miles apart on the same stretch of road.

    Nothing was filmed in Washington.

    It is small. Although I think Night 90 is rather bad, I give Savini major props for making that place look like rolling hills of hedgestones. Many prop hedgestones were used, and the "Evans City Cemetery" gate was a prop.

    Heh heh, so Savini tells a little fib on the DVD commentary, eh? I've never been out there myself to verify because I don't care for the movie all that much. I think the Fan of the Dead guy got it wrong, too, but I'd have to check the DVD again to be sure.

    Funny that the remake cemetery and house are three miles apart, just like the original in Evans City. Good work, axlish!

    bit off topic so forgive here for a second: i listened to that savini interview on deadpit a few weeks ago that you mentioned in a thread way back. sounds like he had a rather nightmarish time filming that movie.
