| - How could I not give this place its first review? They certainly deserve it. Visiting home, my fiance and I found out about this place from a guy who worked at Slacker on the South Side (House of the Dead is in Lawrenceville). Since my fiance is versed in everything zombie, this was our second stop after Monroeville Zombies on our unofficial zombie tour of Pittsburgh.
The shop is full of as many zombie collectible items as you could think of -- it's basically a zombie-themed gift shop! Movies, books, decals and stickers, pins, hats, games, this store has got it all. I bet if you wanted to get ahold of a zombie movie they didn't have, they'd order it for you.
We also got along really well with Chuck, one of the owners. He was very friendly, helpful and knowledgable, not to mention cool. I like that it's not just a store all by itself-- I believe he told us that he gets the store involved in local events as well.
House of the Dead is great for Pittsburgh's Zombie presence (see my review of Monroeville Zombies), and excellent for gifts as well (I heard they get pretty busy around Halloween and the holidays).
Quick funny note-- It's next to a charming country goods store called "Dandelions". Irony, I love you.
