Blood, rotting flesh and coffins are usually the stuff of Halloween, but for some members of the Pittsburgh community, they are just part of a fun Friday night.Suited in bloody and torn clothes, zombie sweethearts and their single friends will not find themselves over dressed on Feb. 11 at 8:30 p.m. The group Steel City Zombies will host the Eat Your Heart Out Zombie Valentine’s Day bash for undead enthusiasts at the Oakmont Tavern, with proceeds from the $3 admissions going towards the Save the Evans City Cemetery Chapel fund.”I’m all about the Pittsburgh area,” Andrew Williams, 39, co-host of the event and schoolteacher from Springdale, said about the chapel in a telephone interview. “Anything that says Pittsburgh to me is worth saving [and] that’s one of those things that says Pittsburgh to me.”Attendees will be able to show off their best flesh wounds, blood splatters and distressed attire in the ongoing zombie costume contest, which is set to culminate around midnight.  Partiers will also be able to sample the acoustic rock music of the band Overland and participate in a raffle for zombie and chapel themed prizes, as well as some sports jerseys. Williams first brought the cause to founder of Steel City Zombies, Kevin Smith’s attention, which inspired him to plan the Valentine’s Day event.”Its pretty important,” Smith said over the phone. “People come to visit it from all over the place to pay homage. It’s kind of where this whole zombie thing started. It’s classic.”Events have been hosted all over the country to save the Evans City Cemetery Chapel. According to the Save the Evans City Cemetery Chapel website, the ultimate goal of the organization is to raise the $50,000 needed to save the chapel, a major filming location of George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, from being destroyed. As of Jan. 23, the group has raised $13,000.”Some places deserve to exist because people find them meaningful,” Alex Koval, 24 of Cleveland, Ohio, said.Koval, a friend and co-worker of Smith, previously attended the first Steel City Zombies event, a pub-crawl in the South Side in October, which raised $255 for the Red Cross disaster relief fund.Smith and Williams have used their ghoulish hobbies and expertise to plan a night filled with macabre, walking dead themed events.For those interested in documenting the grotesque evening, there will be a themed backdrop and an open casket for fatigued undead photo opportunities, as well as a portrait artist.Since the party is being held at The Oakmont Tavern, Smith said it will be an “over 21 crowd.” “Chapel Shots,” or Jell O shots, will be sold with all proceeds going towards saving the Evans City Cemetery Chapel from destruction.  Smith and Williams are ecstatic about their event, with a goal of raising $1,000 for the night from admission, raffle tickets and drinks.Smith, who goes by Dead Kev, 37, of Plum, Pa., decided last summer to take his zombie enthusiasm to the next level and start rallying together fans by creating events and tying them to good causes.”It’s not an unhealthy obsession I would say. To him it’s just, in a twisted way I guess, [a] fun thing he really enjoys. If he can zombie something up, he will definitely do it,” Williams said.Having been a fan of the horror genre since he was 8 years old, Williams, was excited to help organize the party with his zombie-loving cousin Smith in an effort to preserve the chapel. “I think it’s a really good organization. There’s obviously something about zombies that touches people,” Koval said. “It’s a matter about being part of a community. It’s a way for people to lose themselves in a group.”
