The Crazies (1973) – Filming Locations
Where George A. Romero's The Crazies was filmed in Pennsylvania: in and around Evans City, north of Pittsburgh.
George A. Romero shot the original Crazies in and around Evans City, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, the same area where he made Night of the Living Dead. The opening house fire was a real firefighters’ practice burn that Romero got permission to film.
The 2010 remake was shot in Georgia and Iowa. See our guides to The Crazies (2010) in Iowa and Night of the Living Dead.
Evans City
Address: Evans City, PA 16033
The town plays the infected Pennsylvania town. The local high school, houses around town and the post office front were all used for the scenes of soldiers rounding up the townspeople.
A public borough. Plaques near the town mural mark the Romero films shot here, including The Crazies.
