Gotta be fast to avoid a zombie bite and to survive with friends
It’s been twenty years since Edgar Wright’s classic Horror RomCom was released to theatres and to celebrate Focus Features is bringing a special immersive pop-up experience at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.
The Shaun of the Dead Pop-Up at 520 Fifth Avenue from Thursday, July 25th to Sunday, July 28th will bring visitors into the life-and-death struggle to avoid being bitten by zombies. Those who enter will explore the Winchester Tavern, interactive photo ops <squee>, a can of Beer Zombies (must be 21+ while supplies last), exclusive merch, game demos, and giveaways. If you are 21+ you can try Beer Zombie a European Style Lager with a smooth and refreshing taste that has a perfectly balanced mild bitter smooth finish. Perfect to quench your thirst as you outrun zombies, look for the perfect weapons, and come up with a life-saving strategy!
A bonus for gamers, Funko, and zombie fans attendees will be able to play the Shaun of the Dead-inspired co-op action game, Funko Fusion which was developed by 10:10 Games. It’s the sneak peek that will have you nibble on someone or head to select global retailers and digital distribution partners to pre-order the physical console editions of the game.
The free tickets went on sale and promptly sold out so like many I’ll be on the standby line for the walkups. 520 Fifth Avenue from Thursday, July 25th to Sunday, July 28th
