Unbeknownst to them, out pops these bleach white, grotesquely misshapen faces, tiaras on heads of stringy, knotted hair. The girl turns around, screams, and clings onto her boyfriend, who in his mockery finally grasps the horror of the situation. The music, deafening in its suddenness, blares on, and Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cThriller\u201d plays loudly as zombies emerge, perform a stiff-limbed dance and surround the audience, ready to feast.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All right, I\u2019m speculating, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s too far from the truth.
