Zombie lovers unite, the Walking Dead Immersive Show is going to make your wildest… nightmares(?) come true!

Did you know that now you can experience firsthand what it is like to be a zombie just like in the show? How you ask?

The Walking Dead Immersive Show: Why It’s So Insanely Cool

Curious? Here is what happens when you arrive at the Walking Dead Immersive Show. You can wear your own costume, but onsite they have a full professional makeup to turn you into a full zombie depending on the package you select. I suggest if you don’t wear a costume, wear older clothes because they also put makeup and blood on your hands and arms for maximum effect! You are then split into small groups and are placed with a small group of about seven people. They purposely put everyone with people they don’t know to make the experience more intense. The show says this is also for maximum realism! Holy cow, no grabbing Bae’s arm if you’re a scardy cat!

The 10,000 square foot town is dealing with the first night of a zombie outbreak. You will encounter other Walking Dead fans as well as professional zombie actors. Creepy! Walkers add to the experience purposely scaring survivors who are moving through the town! You also have options to be both a walker and survivor with combo packages. This cool experience is directed by the director, visual artist and designer, Michael Counts, along with Skybound Entertainment and Robert Kirkman, the creator of the TV show, The Walking Dead.
