We’re going behind the Scenes of Urban Death Cannibal Corpse at Zombie Joe’s Underground in North Hollywood. Today’s episode is a recording from our first meet-up of the season which we did in partnership with Horrorbuzz. We often say that Haunt is theatre you walk through, and the line between haunt and theatre is especially close with immersive horror theatre like Zombie Joe’s. If you’re a fan, it’s a fantastic look behind the curtain. If you’re a haunter, it’s an example of partnering with IP to act as inspiration for your show.
