Join us for an unforgettable celebration of George A. Romero’s zombie legacy. In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of Living Dead Weekend—from Leah's gruesome “Dr. Logan” crown to organizing a packed Zombie Book Club author crawl with 263 entries. We talk survival strategies, meet filmmakers, FX masters, and authors, and uncover the urgent community fight against Walmart’s takeover of this beloved horror landmark.
Amid flood warnings and tornado alerts, we delve into real conversations, unexpected friendships, hilarious shockers (giant penis plushies), and the heart of what this community means. We may have spent more than we made, but would we do it all again? Absolutely—because in the end, finding your zombie family is the greatest survival story of all.
