Article summary
Ken Foree, the man behind Peter in George Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978), took to the stage on Friday, June 12 (2pm EST), both ushering in Living Dead Weekend 2026 at the Monroeville Mall and to deliver what he announced will be his final appearance at the convention.

This is an unscripted moment. No rehearsed answers, no panel moderator, just Foree speaking directly to the people who have kept Dawn of the Dead alive for over 45 years. He reflects on the film's impossible success, the cast and crew members no longer with us, and what the Monroeville Mall means to horror history.

From first-time convention attendees to lifelong devotees, from zombie extras to military officers, everyone in that room felt the weight of what was happening. This is the speech that sent off Living Dead Weekend 2026 the way it deserved.

Article summary
In Dawn of the Dead, the ghouls from Night of the Living Dead have returned with an insatiable hunger for human flesh, and a message that haunts the human mind. Young and old, black and white, their former lives forgotten, they fill the streets of our cities and run wild through our shopping centers, consuming everyone and everything they touch with the cure of living death. As four ordinary people take refuge in an overrun shopping mall and arm themselves against the onslaught, Dawn of the Dead becomes more than a bloodbath. In a world where life is a commodity, where survival is bought with guns, and where satisfaction is having free run of a department store, the dead will finally rule us all.
