Save the Evans City Chapel! Night of the Living Dead
Fix The Chapel.com is the grassroots effort of Night of the Living Dead fans to restore and preserve the chapel in Evans City Cemetery, a cinematic landmark from the George A. Romero classic horror film originally released in 1968. Fundraising activities include donations and merchandise sales through the web site and online auctions, as well as raising awareness at horror conventions and via social networks such as Facebook and YouTube. A goal of $50,000 is being sought.
The restoration and fundraising project is being organzied by Gary R. Streiner, key member of the production staff on the original Night of the Living Dead and currently a resident of Evans City, PA. In 1967, Streiner was working at The Latent Image together with George Romero and his brother, Russell Streiner, in Pittsburgh when production began on the landmark film in which he was one of the original ten investors and owners. In 2008 and 2009, Streiner organized Living Dead festivals in Evans City which attracted the largest reunion of cast and crew to date.

Robin, hopefully you're around as it's that time of the week when I ask you for Blog design help. If you look at Laughing Scared, you will see I am having trouble creating a single profile that lists both of my Blogs. I have an older one called My Poor Fool and somehow it looks like I have created two profiles now and can't make the Laughing Scared Inc thing go away and keep just the Keith profile. Ugh. Any ideas? Please with zombie sugar on top?
I'm sorry that I'm a bit late to this. I will look into it and see if I can help you find a solution. You'll be hearing back from me sometime today!
